If your someone else is building the distribution network with awesome #CustomerExperience in your space then be very scared - Ask the Hollywood studios about Netflix and Amazon Prime

Amazon to buy (for $1bn) online pharmacy @PillPack which ships prescriptions around the US, and overnight.

Under threat: $400 billion pharmacy business. @Walmart @Walgreens @cvspharmacy stocks dropped.

1/ #FlipkartWalmartDeal is a bit unfortunate for an Indian the #startup (and the #founder) who had chance to be India's Alibaba (and Jack Ma ).

sam33r.com/home/flipkart
2/ Yes, an awesome deal for #founder & #investors.

400x for Accel Partners & Tiger Global's initial investment.

Softbank wld get 1.5x for $2.5bn within a year.
3/ Could they have become $200 B business on their own, with the original team?

Would Indian market alone have supported the kind of growth Alibaba experienced/ing?
