Yes, Flipkart is going Myntra's way! India's leading online retailer Flipkart is planning to be App-only from September this year and the Company has already informed its employees about the crucial decision. Thanks to enormous growth in smartphone and mobile internet usage in the country!

The fact that nearly 75% of the total traffic Flipkart has been getting is from its Mobile App has a great influence on the latest move. With 45 million registered users and 10 million daily traffic, Flipkart is currently valued at $11 billion. How much damage will be resulted by preferring App-only? Is Flipkart well prepared to handle the losses it's going to incur?  

In case of Myntra (acquired by Flipkart last year), 90% of total traffic and 70% of sales is through its Mobile App before the website was completely shut down. Even though there is 10% decline in revenue after making it App-only, The company was confident of covering the loss in the coming months. In the same way, Flipkart wishes to restrict its services to App-only as it believes this is the future. - See more at: http://www.gulte.com/news/40249/Flipkart-To-Be-Shutdown-In-Next-2-Months#sthash.by1u16EX.dpuf
