The online shopping battles are set to resume. Amazon and Flipkart have both confirmed that the battlelines have been drawn ahead of the festive shopping season. Amazon has simply announced the Great Indian Festival Sale and it still says, “coming soon”. It is expected that Amazon will finalize the dates for the Amazon Great Indian Festival Sale in the coming days. Flipkart has already made the first move and confirmed that Flipkart The Big Billion Days Sale will run through October 16 to October 21. One could expect the Amazon Great Indian Festival Sale to also coincide with these dates, at least partially.
One hint about the Amazon Great Indian Festival Sale could lie in the reveal that says the Amazon Great Indian Festival Sale will, among the new launches, feature the upcoming OnePlus 8T 5G smartphone. The OnePlus 8T is expected to launch on October 14. In the meantime, there remains a slow reveal of offers, schemes and discounts that shoppers can expect during the Amazon Great Indian Festival Sale, ahead of the Dussehra and Diwali festivals. Also listed among the launches is the upcoming Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite with Alexa Voice Remote Lite. This goes on sale on October 15 and is up for preorder now. The Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite with Alexa Voice Remote Lite is priced at Rs 2,999.
