No need to downvote if you just disagree, that's not how HN is supposed to work :( It appears that you are using a different meaning for revenue. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenue http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenue Revenue normally refers to top-line or gross income. This is why I clarified with the 'net-' addition, it's probably what led to the confusion in the first place. Flipkart nowadays anyway operates on a 'store' model for the most part so sales margin for this discussion could actually be meaningless anyway. But since they were doing an exclusive, perhaps they were directly selling, in which case it would be pertinent to the discussion.
