Amazon's Alleged Insider Information Gathering Methods

Amazon has been accused of spying on its rivals, such as Flipkart and Walmart, by setting up a company named Big River Services International. This company listed products on competitor platforms like Flipkart under a different name to obtain insider information on pricing algorithms, logistics, and payment methods. The information gathered was then shared with Amazon's benchmarking team to enhance its own services. Despite Amazon's belief that rivals engage in similar activities, misrepresentation of identities during interactions with competitors could potentially lead to legal issues.
