It's part of Indian culture and heritage. Why are you embarrassed about it!!?? The entertainment sector in India is probably the biggest industry in the country. And it's a craft where Indians excel in. It's part of India, and always going to and has been for centuries. Stop trying to force being something else which you are not.

When Amazon finds a new demographic to profit off of: 🥵

@originalunoriginal4055 3 ай бұрын

If it's not Amazon, then without a doubt it will be it's top 5 competition that would be doing the exact same, to capture the consumer market demographic. The sector/market is currently worth near a billion dollars every year and by 2034 it's going to reach the trillion mark! That's an income stream an entrepreneur simply cannot let it slip by. And for the key players to adopt a: "let's give a free ride to the other team. Let them have this one" attitude towards this consumer market demographic. Profiting, identifying and targeting new consumer markets, securing repeat purchases and forming a loyalty relationship: it's all part of running a business! 🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇

I have ordered a laptop in the Festive sale in October last year. After accepting the order, Flipkart was not delivering the product, they even asked to cancel the product from my account to lessen the responsibility and asking me to reorder the same laptop at the 100$ extra. After all this, I went to the District consumer tribunal and Flipkart gave me a brand new laptop along with compensation. The least customer centric company in the world.🤬🤬🤬

Indias online shopping economy is doing great but what about the locals who make clothing, every day items that the Indians are used to buying from. Its going to create an even bigger demographic of below poverty, already more than India is currently facing. Its a double edged sword for India. They want to have their own version of Amazon but at what cost? It won't last. Soon enough, those enginereers working there will come to USA on a work visa and make 200k-300k a year working tech in the Silicon Valley.
