Indian fashion and lifestyle e-commerce portal Jabong.com’s founder and chief executive Arun Chandra Mohan says 65% of Jabong’s sales come from non-metropolitan Indian cities, and the e-tailer was figuring out how to expand reach by tying up with agencies like India Post.

○Amazon, Flipkart stack up against each other in India
【New Delhi】Unabashedly modelled on Amazon.com, Flipkart.com was launched in India in 2007, many years ago before the US ecommerce major arrived in the country.
After a great initial run and some major acquisitions, the company enjoyed the maturing market riding on the mobile revolution establishing Flipkart.com as the leading online retailer in the country.

So, I'll avoid the crystal ball gazing and look at how the two stack against each other right now in terms of few, nifty features they offer.
