BlueFrog, the most famous pub in Mumbai was decked up for Christmas and #FlipkartKids ( the launch of Flipkart Li'l Star - India's Biggest Online Kids Store ) on 19 December, 2015. Post registration , we the bloggers exchanged pleasantries, enjoyed the welcome drinks, starters, lunch and homed in on the Pods (semi-circular booths). The pods are so cozy that we ended up gossiping ( our blogger buddy Riddhi Sharma clicked that and twitted it ... then and there like typically ... about what ? you wonder ?  more about that later... 

In the DISK ( Double Income Single Kid ) age, parents have more than enough money to pamper their only kid with whatever is wished for. Simultaneously the parents don't have enough time and energy to do physical ( real time ) shopping , by mall-hopping for so many different products. Kids have numerous needs ranging from Toys, books, dresses, chocolates , bags , shoes, caps, cosmetics , stationary , accessories etc. The modern-age kids are so well informed that they want only best of branded ( Disney, Mattel and Chhota Bheem )goods. Due to the advent of Internet the kids are well educated and connected to Online-App shopping. So naturally India's favorite  #FlipkartKids is Kids' buddy when it comes to online shopping , where they can choose whatever the require at reasonable price. 

With large scale global investments, growth of niche category e-commerce firms and the entry of global competitors/brands, e-commerce landscape in India looks very promising. e-commerce in India is expected to grow by almost 50% this year. it is estimated that the e-commerce market in India will reach Rs 124 thousand crore by 2015, growing at a CAGR of 37% over 2013-15.

2015 - The year of mobile commerce : The surge in the number of smartphone and internet users is adding muscle to the Indian e-commerce industry.  9 out of 10 mobile phones will be smartphones by 2018, and 7 out of 10 consumers will shop from mobile in upcoming years. Considering these figures, 2015 looks to be the year of mobile commerce. Currently, more than 50% of the entire traffic on  #Flipkart comes from mobile users, which was only 10% a year ago. The success of Flipkart’s Big App Shopping Days is a small example of what mobile phones can do.
