Online selling platform eBay India, and Bangalore, India-based e-commerce firm Flipkart Group formally concluded their merger process.
Flipkart will own and operate eBay, while the latter will function as an independent entity even as the two firms explore opportunities in cross-border trade. Customers from Flipkart and eBay will get access to both of the firm’s inventories. Additionally, the partnership will provide an opportunity for Flipkart’s sellers to expand their sales globally.
VCCircle reports that eBay had an early-mover advantage in India, but was unable to capitalize on it and lost to younger rivals Flipkart, Snapdeal, and Amazon India.
