Totally agree. Our shopping habits have changed drastically over the last year. Trips to the local stores have gone down from twice a week, to once on alternate weekends for specific items. We use a combination of online retailers, and were very happy to see Flipkart buy Myntra. Wondering if they would also like to gobble up more with the additional funding they get.

Stretching the online story further, I always wondered if it makes sense for Flipkart to take over an online book library, like JustBooks. They could ship every book with a note saying "If you liked reading this book, here's how to buy a copy from us". Flipkart does have much better quality of service than JustBooks!
