The recent Retail Leadership Summit started off with a bang, as famed investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala almost 'ragged' Sachin Bansal of Flipkart on the issue of a sustainable business model for e-commerce companies in India. While Sachin was mostly cool and measured in his responses, the suggested path to profitability goes back to an old adage in retail - The customer chooses you for one or more of 3 things: Convenience, Assortment (Selection), Price. While pricing may be the primary differentiator today, it's likely that a unique and wide assortment (only available on Flipkart) becomes the differentiator tomorrow. This is especially possible online, where a long tail of products can be sold without the overheads of a brick and mortar operation - Comment
