During campus placements at my college, none of the CS and Maths and Computing went to snapdeal. Instead snapdeal has to settle themselves with guys from other departments.
From foreign news articles it does seem like flipkart & amazon are the big deal which is why I find it confusing why in india snapdeal is a bigger deal.
Flipkart is technically more impressive than Snapdeal. (Flash sales/in-house hardware, etc). It has it's own brand similar to Amazon basics - DigiFlip, some of which are of decent quality - cables, chargers, etc.
we have done all the price comparison and we have found that deals,coupons etc are not worth the time. I just want a site that I can go to and be somewhat sure that I am getting a good price.
Flipkart is fantastic for that. I have never ever found a product on flipkart that is cheaper elsewhere and I can also see my other options for similar products on the same site.
If I am being adventurous, I browse ebay where I get good deals.
2) Snapdeal is really no big deal in India- With flipkart,google,microsoft and a bunch of awesome new startups in south, and Snapdeal having no presence in bangalore/Chennai/hyderabad etc- Programmers have a lot of options.
3) I know very very few people who use snapdeal. with amazon,flipkart and ebay i don't see why snapdeal is relevant. Why would a good programmer move to join this company? its not one of the big ones. Its not a cool startup and equity will be low.
