Another e-commerce bubble burst in waiting.
Right now their focus is solely on customer acquisition and using investor's money to provide discounts. All online and offline retailers are bleeding including Big Bazaar. Since there is no value add in the services/products, bubble burst in sure to happen.
另一个电商泡沫在等待破裂。
目前，他们的焦点是顾客获取和用投资者的资金为顾客提供打折。
所有线上和线下零售商都在流血，包括大巴扎。
由于服务和产品并未产生附加值，泡沫肯定会破裂的。Abhishek
Very True! I hope it doesnt happen since from long offline retailers have been bleeding Indian comman man with high profit margin. Today due to online retailers, the offline guys are forced to gain lesser profit thereby benefiting the common man!
很早以来，线下零售商的利润很大，榨取了老百姓的血汗钱。
今天在线上零售商的压力下，线下零售商被迫压低利润，结果是老百姓受惠。

There are still many mysteries in the accounting practices and ownership pattern of these ecommerce ventures from India, be it Snapdeal, Flipkart etc. Today Snapdeal is valued at almost $ 5 billion, which makes it one of India's top 20 companies by valuation, but we are not even sure of its annual revenue & total assets. Unclear profitability models, and operational issues (whatever is mentioned in the open media) add to further chaos.
不管是Snapdeal还是Flipkart，印度电商的会计实务和所有制结果还有很多神秘之处。
今天，Snapdeal估值50亿美元，跻身印度估值前20大公司。
但是我们对Snapdeal的年收入和总资产没有个底。
不明确的盈利模式和操作问题进一步加剧了混乱。
