Amazons Venture Into India
Strategy 1
01
What?When?Where?
 Amazon.com entered the Indian e-
commerce space with its online
marketplace Amazon.in.
 Junglee.com tested waters.
 June 5, 2013
 Initial cities targeted- Bangalore,
Hyderabad & Chennai.
Why?
 Indian e-commerce market expected to grow
to $200 billion by 2020.
 India a vital market for global dominance in
e-commerce.
 Indian market far from saturation. Internet
penetration is a mere 20%.
How? How much?
 Cap of 49% for FDI in B2C online markets.
 Use of marketplace model to work around the FDI limit.
 Catalogue size: 7 million books and 12000 movies, through 100 sellers.
 Investment amount not disclosed.
Amazon Indias performance and
strategic moves
 Amazon now has a base of 5000 sellers.
 Selection of 15 million products across 25 categories.
 First among its competition to introduce same-day and next-day deliveries.
01
Competitor
Comparison
 Intense competition has led to
aggressive pricing and discounts
being paid by venture
capitalists.
 Money is being burned to
acquire new customers.
 Flipkart leads in Net Revenue.
 However Flipkart leads in losses
as well, by a greater margin.
!
Was the strategy successful?
 Amazon.in became the second largest e-retailer a year from launch.
 Hard work ahead to catch up with local giants.
 Timing of the entry had certain advantages -
1. Groundwork already done by homegrown competitors.
2. An exhausted competition.
Did a competitor execute a similar strategy?
 eBay entered India in 2004 by
buying out baazee.com.
 In 2005 renamed it eBay.in.
 One of the earliest online
marketplaces in the country.
 It has slipped behind both
Flipkart & Amazon.
Conclusion

WHY DIDTHEY FAIL?
 It doesnt do anything you cant already do
with a stock Android device.
 Restricted application usage.
 It is quite expensive.
 It has 3D but without a 3D screen
 It takes away the consumers power to
choose.
 Only sold on AT&T.
01
WHAT COULD HAVE
BEEN DONE BETTER?
 Offer it on multiple carriers.
 Get better services.
 Be more creative with the pricing.
01
HOW DID MICROSOFT DO IT?
 Used forward integration to acquire Nokia.
 Nokia already used Windows OS for 80%
of its devices.
 Nokia brought 鍖nancial capabilities to
Microsoft.
SWOT
Strength
Brand well known along with a strong customer base.
Diverse product offerings
Strong business relationships with publishing houses,
major electronic companies etc.
Experience of almost two decade.
Weakness
Operates at very low margin
KINDLE is not up to the mark to its competitors
Brand dissonance with Junglee and Amazon
Opportunity
Acquiring more small business enterprises.
Opening physical stores so as to give the customers a
feel of touch and experience.
Indian retail industry is estimated to be $450 Billion.
Threats
Online security threats
Regional low-cost retailers
Strong online presence of Indian competitors like
Flipkart and Myntra
Flexible rules against FDI enabling other major players
like Wal-Mart etc. to enter
Any Questions?
