It is a great Amazon alternative, nevertheless to say it also replaces Flipkart in several categories. You can purchase anything from your favorite electronic items to bed sheets, t-shirts, baby products, etc. from the Paytm Mall. Electronics items are their primary focus and they provide a lot of discounts on them as well.

6. Myntra

Myntra is another shopping website for those who are looking for fashion items for men, women, and kids. They also provide home and living items to decorate your house. Several brands such as Adidas, Nike, Puma, etc. List their exclusive items on the Myntra store. So if you are looking for some exclusive items from these companies, you should be checking out Myntra frequently. The prices are not that cheap as Amazon or Flipkart, but when it comes to the quality of the products, Myntra is the best choice obviously because they are a dedicated fashion store.

7. Snapdeal

Snapdeal isn’t the biggest e-Commerce platform in India. However, they hold onto the top 10 list of the Flipkart alternatives with thousands of products listed on their website. Even though there have been some complaints about the company and the quality of the products, it seems like the issues have been resolved recently.

Being dedicated to such items also comes with a lot of benefits such as huge discounts in the category. If you are primarily focusing on buying items in the categories listed above, you should go with Etsy instead of any others in this list of websites like Flipkart. They provide free shipping to selected locations all across the country.

9. Alibaba

Alibaba is yet another e-commerce platform that offers online shopping. Although it primarily did B2B business and was engaged in online wholesales, it has now become possible to place single-unit orders with the company. Hence, it can now directly challenge Flipkart. Moreover, Alibaba has a resolute presence in over 80 countries. Even some dealers on Flipkart source their products with Alibaba and then resell them on Flipkart. If figures are to be trusted, the platform has a loyal customer base of over 10 million active repeat customers and over 1.2 billion active consumers.

10. NewEgg

Newegg mostly sells electronic items, mainly computer parts such as monitors, motherboards, ram, CPU, etc. The best attraction of the website is the number of offers they provide on such items especially because they are dedicated to the computer parts instead of going for an eCommerce website that provides everything like Flipkart. So if you are planning to build a PC, NewEgg could be the choice. They also provide items in several other categories including toys, apparel, health & sports, home & tools, etc. But we won’t recommend trusting them on those items.

11. Shopclues

ShopClues is a website just like Flipkart that provide everything from electronics to fashion items. You can find almost anything that you want to buy on this website and get it delivered at your doorsteps as fast as possible.
