Flipkart.com's new look
For quite some time now, I’ve hated Flipkart’s (www.flipkart.com ) interface. I thought it clunky, unwieldy and pretty damn ugly. That said, I’ve been a regular on the site because they’ve delivered books quietly, efficiently and at perhaps the best prices I’ve seen any place in the country. For instance, the hardbound edition of India: A Portrait by Patrick French is now available in bookstores for Rs. 699. I bought it off Flipkart for Rs. 524.
But that’s not the reason why Flipkart is being talked about here. Last week, the Web site finally unveiled a new look. And boy, does it work! The interface is slick and very quick. What I liked more is that there is a version of the site that works equally well on the mobile phone.
Flipkart has introduced new categories like movies, music, games, cameras and computers. Now, if only Flipkart got into e-readers and e-books as well!

But most important thing to see that within three years of starting business it has taken that height that people always remain hungry. I am also new entrepreneur and it is great example for me because both of them have become my idol.
