Flipkart to offer 71 per cent off under 3 days 'The Big Freedom Sale'

Mumbai: It seems Flipkart has not been bogged down by collapse of a buyout deal with Snapdeal, as the company has revealed it is starting yet another online sale. This online sale forms part of company's steps toward capturing majority of online buyers who go on shopping spree during festive season.

Flipkart with an eye on major chunk of India's $12 billion e-commerce industry had offered to buy Snapdeal which turned down a revised $950 million offer from the former. Snapdeal while citing the reason for rejecting the deal had said that it wants to go on its own "independent" path.

Flipkart, e-commerce giant, has lined a number of products up for grabs at cheaper prices as part of its Independence Day celebrations. "Flipkart’s ‘Freedom Day Sale’ offers are here providing customers a minimum 71 per cent off on numerous products under various categories," the company said in a statement on its website.

The Big Freedom Sale will start on August 9.

This independence day sale is here to assure that every Indian, who is celebrating the 70th year of independence, is perked up with the plethora of gifts that can be shopped online at best deals and discounts and be exchanged with fellow Indians as a mark of joy and respect for the freedom fighters as well, the statement added.

The online sales that will start from August 9 and last till August 11 will offer products in assorted ranges. Consumers can buy mobile phones, home appliances, electronics goods and some select white goods as well.
