| This article looks at data without understanding the reason behind it. Many educated Indians choose to buy from these 33 Amazon owned / equity linked sellers because of the experience they offer - odds of receiving wrong/damaged product is low, and in case where that happens the return / replacement process is hassle free. Amazon has brought price discovery to many product categories in India. For expensive products I check Amazon's ClouldTail / Appario seller's price before making a purchase from even local vendors, keep that as a reference and negotiate. Eg: Every computer component, laptop has a ridicules MRP (Maximum Retail Price) in India. A RAM module sold at INR 5500 has an MRP of INR 20,500. The sad part is even companies like AMD collude with distributors in cheating end customers. Instead of fixing problems which makes citizens flock to few sellers at Amazon every Indian government irrespective of political party chooses to appease the voting block of traders union - who are nothing but middle men making prices expensive to the end consumer. A country grows when builders and innovators contribute to the economy, not leeches who don't even understand what they are selling. Everyday I lose a little hope of India ever becoming a developed country, we have our priorities backwards. |
