How feasible it is to create a vertical player that can effectively compete in the current environment? What are the challenges when it comes to competing with large horizontal players? Under what conditions do we see both vertical and horizontal marketplaces co-existing in any category? Which categories are more amenable for vertical marketplaces to emerge? What will it take for a vertical marketplace to reach USD 1 billion?

Watch our webinar with Manish Taneja, Co-founder and CEO at Dinkar Ayilavarapu, Head of Corporate Strategy at Flipkart, Harsh Goyal, Director, Everyday Essentials at Amazon, and Tarun Davda, our Managing Director, debate this.
