- So Flipkart lost Moto account to Amazon. Not just monetary loss, but a big blow to Flipkart (for sure).
- Now that Amazon is all geared to launch the new Moto devices, Flipkart runs print/online ads in order to spoil Amazon’s party (with some massive discounts on older Moto devices).
- Amazon, on the other hand allegedly paid influencers / promoted tweets to ensure #SoreLoserFlipkart trends.
And it’s trending.
A bit of ambush marketing – but fall from grace (for both)? What’s your take? What exactly are they trying to prove by bringing each other down? Does this speak of insecurity they are going through ?
FYI :
- Flipkart’s Two More Investors Marks Down Stake By 20%
- Tiger Cuts its stake in Amazon
Checkout the drama from both sides (grab some popcorn).
#Moto chose #amazon as their exclusive partner to sell #MotoG4Plus. Then why is #MotoOnFlipkart trendin? shouldn't #MotoOnAmazon trend? 😉

The trend #SoreLoserFlipkart is a based on a stupid "logic". It's called business. Nothing unethical about it. Support for @Flipkart!
