Flipkart faces backlash over obituary-style sale ad

Flipkart has faced backlash over a newspaper ad that mimicked obituary notices. The ad showcased living people's photos alongside the caption "We aren't sad at all", followed by the line "While they continue to live, our deals will soon leave". Tagging the e-commerce platform on X, author Shobhaa De said, "The most self-serving, disgusting and insensitive ad...Shame on you."
