Flipkart Enters India’s Micro-Drama Market Through Content Partnerships
Flipkart is adding very short fictional shows to its shopping app.
These shows are called micro-dramas.
The company is working with Terribly Tiny Tales and Pratilipi to make some shows just for Flipkart.
It will also show programs from Pinkvilla.
The feature is currently available to only some users.
Flipkart plans to offer it to more people later.
The company hopes people will spend more time using its app.
It may eventually connect the shows with advertising and shopping.
