Understanding the problem space
With the emerging e-retail platforms, the availability of millions of product alternatives renders users in dilemma which affects the time in decision-making as to which product is the best available and will serve the user need. During this course of flow, from product search to order placement user encounters a number of pain points and frustrations which directly affects the business matrices. The primary goal of this project is to simplify the process for users, therefore shifting the business dynamics towards the positive end.
Users are spending more time making the final decision before purchasing gadgets and electronics.
In order to build trust with the application, users on the first attempt, place orders which are of low economic value.
Most of the users compare products on alternative applications to check if they are getting a better deal.
Online shoppers turn to customer reviews while shopping.
Users don’t want to buy expensive items before doing detailed research on other online platforms about the product. Their decision is solely not based on customer reviews.
Secondary Research
The primary objective of our desk research was to gain a comprehensive understanding of the e-retail market, particularly focusing on how various business metrics are evolving with emerging trends. Our secondary research was instrumental in identifying user needs and challenges. The specific goals of our desk research included:
👉 Analyzing trends in the Indian e-retail market and assessing how Flipkart’s growth aligns with these trends.
👉 Exploring e-retail penetration across different categories.
👉 Identifying specific user types to understand their needs and pain points.
👉 Evaluating direct competitors to uncover their strengths and vulnerabilities.
The landscape of online purchases is expected to shift significantly in the coming years. Categories such as fashion, general merchandise, and groceries, which currently have substantial room for growth compared to mature e-commerce markets, are projected to develop disproportionately, accounting for two-thirds of the e-commerce industry.
“India currently has over 180 million online shoppers and is on track to surpass the United States in the next one to two years to become the second-largest online shopper base in the world.”

Competitive Analysis
Primary Research
Need for Primary Research
To validate data collected from secondary research, considering various parameters for e.g. product page views, average order value and overall experience, primary research was conducted.
For conducting the user research we followed the pattern: user screening → Preparation of session guide → user interviews.
User Screening
Users for interviews were screened by conducting an online survey which included basic questions about their overall mobile usage, online shopping applications and their interaction with Flipkart.
User Interviews
We conducted phone and video interviews with six users to gain a more in-depth understanding of their interactions with Flipkart. It was intriguing to understand how their behaviour and viewpoint on online purchasing has evolved.
Empathy Mapping
To categorise our insights, we segregated our data from secondary and user interviews into empathy maps.
User Personas
Based on the empathy mapping, users were categorised into two groups and user personas were created:
The Bargain Hunters — A buyer who is inclined towards deals and discounts, gets intimidated by lucrative offers.
The Analytical Buyers — A buyer who dives deep into product research, buys a product only when he/she is satisfied with the research.

User Journey Mapping
Mapping the user journey is an essential step in understanding users’ pain points. Each step of the user journey has the scope to enhance the user experience, as in every step user comes across different challenges and expectations. It is important to understand this plethora of emotions to understand and solve the user pain points.

Ideating Solutions
Based on our secondary and primary research insights, we did a brainstorming session and came up with these solutions
Problem Area
We wanted to focus on two key business matrices by adding video reviews and recommendation features:
✅Improve User Satisfaction — From our primary user research, we saw that users are mostly satisfied with the product, but they have an unsatisfactory delivery experience with Flipkart. Late or incorrect delivery or poor customer service during the delivery process can negatively impact the user’s perception of the product, even if the product itself is of good quality. Additionally, users feel that the delivery process is an indicator of the company’s reliability and professionalism, and a negative delivery experience can lead to a decrease in customer trust and loyalty.
✅Task Completion — Before making a purchase of mobile and electronic items on Flipkart, users tend to conduct thorough research on different online platforms regarding the product. Their decision is not solely determined by customer reviews. So, they usually leave the purchase incomplete.
✅Willingness to make a recommendation — Users are normally sharing product links on WhatsApp, which is often not immediately addressed by the receiver and is usually lost in the chat, which is cumbersome for the user to find.

Problem In Current Product Details Page
From our primary research, we came to know that the first thing that users would do after searching for a product(mobile/electronic item) on Flipkart is, would look for a review on YouTube or authentic review websites. In the existing version of Flipkart, there is no option for the user to access videos by tech YouTubers, which is a poor experience as the user has to hustle for getting an authentic product review.
Features:
Profiles of Top YouTubers
Added profiles of top YouTubers related to the product on Flipkart.
Allows users to access videos from multiple YouTubers in one place.
Product Review Videos
Included videos of product reviews by top tech YouTubers.

Pain Points Addressed (PP):
Users often have to visit multiple platforms to find videos related to a product, leading to a fragmented and time-consuming experience.
Difficulty in finding credible and relevant video content directly related to their product of interest on Flipkart.
How it Will Work:
Integrate profiles of top YouTubers on Flipkart, showcasing their relevant videos related to the product.
Users can click on a YouTuber's profile to see a curated list of their videos specifically about the product or similar products.
Each profile will include a brief bio and a list of videos, with the option to follow or save the profile for future reference.
Assumptions:
Users trust the content created by top YouTubers and prefer watching their reviews and recommendations.
Top YouTubers will consent to having their profiles and videos integrated into Flipkart.
The integration will lead to increased user engagement and time spent on the Flipkart platform.
Risks:

Time-Consuming Review Process: Text-based reviews are less engaging and can be time-consuming for users to write and for others to interpret.
Inadequate Product Representation: Photos and videos offer a more accurate and engaging depiction of the product, which is often missing in text reviews.
Confusion in Review Process: The lack of clear options for finishing or skipping the review process can lead to user frustration and incomplete reviews.
Lack of Specific Delivery Feedback: Users' experiences with the delivery process are often overlooked, which could provide valuable insights for improving logistics and customer satisfaction.
How it Will Work:
Incentive Banner: A "Super Coins Loot" banner will be displayed to encourage users to leave reviews by offering Super Coins as rewards. These coins can be earned by submitting reviews, especially video reviews, which are more comprehensive and engaging.
Media Integration: Users will have the option to add photos and videos to their reviews. An "Add Video" button will allow users to upload videos that showcase the product from various angles and in use, providing a richer, more engaging review.

Clear Navigation: The review section will feature distinct “Skip” and “Finish” buttons, placed separately to avoid confusion. This ensures users can clearly understand how to either complete or bypass the review process.
Assumptions:
User Engagement: Offering Super Coins will motivate more users to leave detailed reviews, including photos and videos.
Improved Product Insight: Visual content will provide a more accurate and engaging depiction of the product, helping users make informed purchasing decisions.
Detailed Delivery Feedback: Users will appreciate having a specific section to rate their delivery experience, providing valuable insights for improvement.
Navigation Clarity: Clear separation of skip and finish buttons will reduce user errors and enhance the review process experience.
Risks:
Quality of Reviews: Incentivizing reviews may lead to an increase in quantity but not necessarily in quality, requiring more moderation to maintain relevance and helpfulness.
Content Moderation: There may be a need for enhanced moderation to handle a higher volume of video and photo content, ensuring it is appropriate and useful.
