Allegations of Antitrust Practices
The investigation into Amazon and Flipkart centers on their alleged engagement in anti-competitive practices that disadvantage smaller sellers. Specific actions identified include exclusive agreements with brands, where certain mobile device models are launched exclusively on these platforms, forcing consumers to purchase from only one site. Additionally, the companies reportedly favor their own listings in search results, thereby limiting visibility for other sellers. These preferential treatments are argued to distort competition and create unfair market dynamics, echoing concerns raised by smaller retailers regarding their viability in this environment.
