Whatever happens you have to show large number of people dancing in India.
Western stereotypes
It’s the law
How else will we Americans know what the heck we are watching while waiting in the plastic'n'butt-surgery drive-thru?
It's part of Indian culture and heritage.
Why are you embarrassed about it!!??
The entertainment sector in India is probably the biggest industry in the country. And it's a craft where Indians excel in.
It's part of India, and always going to and has been for centuries.
Stop trying to force being something else which you are not.
😂😂
When Amazon finds a new demographic to profit off of: 🥵
In this case. Walmart
If it's not Amazon, then without a doubt it will be it's top 5 competition that would be doing the exact same, to capture the consumer market demographic.
The sector/market is currently worth near a billion dollars every year and by 2034 it's going to reach the trillion mark!
That's an income stream an entrepreneur simply cannot let it slip by. And for the key players to adopt a: "let's give a free ride to the other team. Let them have this one" attitude towards this consumer market demographic.
Profiting, identifying and targeting new consumer markets, securing repeat purchases and forming a loyalty relationship: it's all part of running a business!
🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇
Flipkart server always down in sale😂
"I Have 3 pairs of unused slippers" yup 😂. Sad to see this happening in India
Waste of money. Indians are forgotting the value of living frugally.
Where’s report on Amazon?
Sponsored? 😅
This video is 6 years old...
Recycling old videos seems to be a vice thing now... Gone are the days where we get a steady pipeline of new content
Americans on Black Friday? Lol wait till you hear how many occasions we can have sales on.
100s of millions….not 10s
F Amazon, F Walmart 🖕
What are better alternatives?
@@DavidZ4-gg3dm Retail shops, mom and pop stores.
@@azrealone They usually have a much smaller range.
@@azrealone stores that are much more likely to engage in wage theft are better? how?

"people who could not afford smart television before, people who could not afford appliances before, how do we bring them in the shopping funnel..." What a garbage Capitalistic/consumeristic statement.
He’s speaking as if those things are absolutely necessary for existence. What a dystopian world
@@SurrealExposure12 ok then throw away your smart phone
Meanwhile you are using your smartphone and other appliances you can live without, as well.
But do they pay their workers a living wage?
They're just allowed to be alive
does minimum wage jobs in America pay their workers a living wage? absolutely not.;
All the basmati rice you can fit in your pockets.
They don't operate like they do in US infacts it's far more egalitarian
@@trailblazer3889 bro you are supper funny 😂😂😂
What are they doing? like 50 Heads popping up and looking on the MacBook Monitor? can someone explain to me?
This is from 2017
This is a promotional video for a CEO and capitalism. Vice has fallen off a cliff!
Vice is gone bro
Well, they were bought by corporation, so logically, they are gonna be now pro corporation it the same thing that happened to PBS News.
Buff Doge Old Vice: "We're gonna interview Liberia Ex Cannibal Warlords."
Cheem Doge New Vice: "Please, Corporation, help us with our funding"
Vice is bankrupt already ! 😂😂
I have ordered a laptop in the Festive sale in October last year. After accepting the order, Flipkart was not delivering the product, they even asked to cancel the product from my account to lessen the responsibility and asking me to reorder the same laptop at the 100$ extra. After all this, I went to the District consumer tribunal and Flipkart gave me a brand new laptop along with compensation. The least customer centric company in the world.🤬🤬🤬
someone know where i can buy first copy Rolex in India? the Flipkart doesn't sell it 🙂
I bought a mumbai special citizen automatic watch that came out of India. It was working great Until I screwed up by opening it and poked around the mechanisms inside.
People should buy from their local market until these companies sign in with ONDC.
I wouldn’t be surprised if one day this online shopping app becomes corrupt or gets hacked
No surprise seeing the number of men FAR outweighing the number of women also in that work environment. Lol
Another nonsensical money making day like Christmas 🎄
Cheap labor still high prices
😮
And somehow I feel I’m still getting scammed. Ha ha ha
This is how I imagine all of India. Just a bunch of 20 something year old guys walking around with laptops while they bobble their heads.
Is this video slow
banglore (or even anywhere india) is business-IT capital mostly shopping or other apps, hardly any innovation happens there.
they might be seen wandering around with laptops but almost zero cutting-edge research happens there.
Diwali was like 5 months ago.
How are they able to handle such traffic but government websites go down?
they literally own AWS and own cloud infrastructure..lmao
Why did the number of Indians gaining access to the internet increase greatly during the mid-2010s?
Look into “Jio Mobile networks” it’s a fascinating story
Ambani
Telecom wars between the telecom operators.
Ambani's Jio won the Telecom war.......Ambani is the richest (maybe 2nd?) man in India
Ambani entered the market with dropping prices to such level that his competitors would never have expected and they were unprepared for such a scenario.
Americans stopped mass shopping so Capitalism travels😢
I feel like it doesn't matter how much we do in our fight against climate change when we're working against forces like this that push rampant and wasteful consumerism.
Buy an electric car and it'll all be alright lol
Better invest in some carbon offsets.
This! You spoke my mind! It's crazy how much people buy unneccesary things here in India!
*Garbage!*
*Sponsored by Flipkart*
*Promotional Video...*
What ethics?
Kuch kam nahi hota. Just a marketing gimmick 😂
Maybe now we can get our telemarketing jobs back?
"shopping funnel" = debt funnel...
Indias online shopping economy is doing great but what about the locals who make clothing, every day items that the Indians are used to buying from. Its going to create an even bigger demographic of below poverty, already more than India is currently facing. Its a double edged sword for India. They want to have their own version of Amazon but at what cost?
It won't last. Soon enough, those enginereers working there will come to USA on a work visa and make 200k-300k a year working tech in the Silicon Valley.
And yet so many of them are still pooping outdoors.
Strange priorities.
When you use this drug then you will be addicted. Shopping shopping be careful dears!
FORGET MORALS AND VALUES,
CONSUME CONSUME CONSUME.
This is why Canada's getting 1 million of these people per year.
CONSUME.
Lol the meltdown in the comment section is hilarious.
Yall just can't handle our booming economy while yours are going into recession. The jealousy and hate is so evident.
Bhagwan tum sabko satbhudhhi de
You misunderstand my friend. We see you making the same mistakes we made and we’re trying to alert you before it’s to late. Unbridled capitalism will destroy us all.
Yay. Debts 😂😂😂😂
makin it out the scam call centers
cool, now just 6 years old vice videos. getting there.
🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇮🇳
Fake , people are starving here
Amazon way better.
1:07 This is a great idea, how about housing loans too; worked really great before and you can bundle the risk onto hedge funds plus **no jail time when it all comes crashing down** because white collar crimes are the best collar crimes
Scamers party 🥳 🤪
Finally 0.000M subscribers completed😰😰😰😂😂
Flip kart is dead Amazon is way better than u copy cats

Consume consume it's gross
Then stop consuming the data you paid for to make this comment.
@@user-pb5ph7oc8t we are forced into having a smart phone or computer today
Nothing can be done anymore without it
We are forced to comply
still Flipkart is the best . value for money and better goods.
Amazon is just overrated in india
Not really
The customer support is terrible with Flipkart... Amazon does it better in this case
Lol flipkart is dying. They have worst customer service
I thought vice shut down
Right - You took a good thing and ruined it and now it’s on life support and horrendous
@@disvet-1ad291yep, and it has flat lined several times as they keep barely reviving it. Pretty soon it's gonna need a DNR.
“Old practices” Just call it Hindu Savarna pomposity
What old practices in the video are you talking about
@@Deeviess They refer to it in the end
Bong spotted
@@PokhrajRoy. Dude why are you so paranoid? What's pompous in a midclass family festivities? Or are you saying so because they're Hindus and savarnas as you assume them to be?
Seems like India is catching up with online shopping! We’ve been shopping online since the mid 1990s via eBay and Amazon! 😅
India is atleast 10-15 years behind technologically
Yeah....here the online shopping has actually blasted from 2015!
This video is from 2018. India is more digital than the US especially after the UPI payment system.
This is 2018 video
Yeah, I remember the average joe has been shopping online since jurassic period. India is so late in the trend.
This is propaganda
