Jeff Bezos’ Amazon in India
Amazon has seen significant growth in its business in India. But at the same time, it is also witnessing protests from a section of traders in the country. These traders claim that the likes of Amazon and Flipkart offer deep discounts and engage in unfair business practices.
Last year, the government tightened rules for e-commerce marketplaces with foreign investment. These rules barred such platforms from offering products of sellers in which they hold a stake and banned exclusive marketing arrangements among other clauses. Following this, Amazon restructured its joint ventures to ensure compliance.
