Probably for the first time anywhere in the world, Union of e-Sellers have revolted against an ecommerce portal; and this history has been created right inside India.

eSeller Suraksha, a union of around 1000 members along with All India Online Vendors Association, forum of approximately 800 members have declared strike against Flipkart. And their way of protesting is very simple: Whenever a user lands up at any product listed by these sellers, then ‘Out of Stock’ notification would greet them.

Sanjay Thakur, president of eSeller Suraksha, said, “With Flipkart increasing the commission rates, we estimate that the selling prices of the product will have to be increased by 20-25% to make sure we’re not at a loss. Many sellers are not happy with the recent changes and close to 1,000 sellers participated in today’s strike and have displayed out-of-stock for about 1 million SKUs (stock keeping units)
