expense per unit is diminished through expanded generation, since fixed expenses are
shared over an expanded number of merchandises. In a layman's language, more the
items, more is the bartering power. This is conceivable just when the companies

- Flipkart and Myntra Merge

for Flipkart. More than 150k product catalogue of Myntra helped Flipkart in enhancing its

13
 COMPANY LAW- MERGERS AND ACQUSITIONS AS A GROWTH STRATEGY

business vertical of apparel. Flipkart co-founder stated about this acquisition that they, at

like becoming one single known name when online shopping comes into mind. So, the best
strategy for market consolidation of e-commerce is by incorporating all possible verticals into
one single business model.’7

B) Market Competition –

Market rivalry that both of the players, Myntra and Flipkart were confronting was
tremendous. All the marketing catching systems could without much of a stretch be repeated
by big deal like Snapdeal, Amazon, E-straight – sufficient regarding assets, innovation and
labour. Likewise, the guideline of FDI was a major worry for both of the player. As the
administration was wanting to permit 100% FDI in retail, players like Amazon, E-bay,
Walmart could have presented their very own items and moved to a stock-based model. Prior
model of Flipkart was likewise stock based before they confronted capital issues and moved
to market-based model. The joined market offer of both the players was at that point half
which was relied upon to increment up to 70% after this attire concentrated securing. So, the
arrangement was a success win circumstance for both to remain against the market rivalry in
long run.

eco-framework, loyalty of shoppers was still in uncertainty. The accessibility of expansive
number of players of same area, money copy strategies for pulling in customers, rebate
situated mentality of open and so forth were a portion of the reasons that were making
substantial disturbance in entrance and loyalty. Additionally, since the securing cost of

 COMPANY LAW- MERGERS AND ACQUSITIONS AS A GROWTH STRATEGY

D) Loss Reduction by Combining the Services – Technology, Consumers, Logistics -

Up until now, none of the online business player had answered to accomplish gainfulness in
their plan of action. High money consumes, forward and turn around coordination’s cost in
poor foundation, specialized back-end cost and so forth were the variables adding to this
nonstop loss of cash for these E-trade firms. Combined services of both the players, shared
coordination’s, specialized back-end, shoppers would help them in decreasing this loss over
income. So, the arrangement was a success win circumstance for Myntra and Flipkart.

E) Ascent of private mark players – High overall revenues-

One noteworthy preferred standpoint to the retailers in India, and which works for private
names, originates from the way that Indian purchasers are less brand cognizant and greater
quality and freshness cognizant. Retailers have expanded their benefits by offering private
mark items since there are tremendous edges to be accomplished from private name items,
which are 30-40% higher edges than marked items. Retailers are no additionally offering low
quality items at a lesser cost. However, they are making new dimension of separation, better
evaluating for a decent quality item and new marketing and advancement methodologies.

Flipkart which was before into marked item selling saw a superior choice through Myntra’s
private naming technique. Myntra’s relationship with various private name players was
another additional favourable position.
