Flipkart has executed a major strategic move by rolling out a zero-commission model for all products priced below ₹1k, significantly widening the scope from the previous Rs500 cap. They have also lowered return fees by Rs35. By eliminating commission on high-volume, low-ticket items, Flipkart becomes a primary marketplace for small sellers. This is a crucial strategy against competitors who dominate the low-value segment. ( Probably Messho or something idk ) However, the platform now faces significant pressure on its Unit Economics. The cost to service (logistics, packaging, payments) these transactions may exceed the revenue generated. The long-term success depends on whether Flipkart can effectively monetize this expanded seller base through highmargin services like advertising, warehousing, and fulfillment. A bold but high-risk play for market dominance. what's y'all's opinion on this move?
