qualitylifestyle products.

Faces heavy, recurring costs to acquire and retain
digital shoppers who possess low brand loyalty.
Despite diversification, Snapdeal‘s marketplace
segment still generates the lion‘s share of consolidated operations revenue and
contributed around 58% of the revenues in FY2026,resulting in dependence on

Operates in a highly competitive industry and its failure
to compete effectively could have a negative impact on the success of its business
and/or impact its margins.
Failure to effectively respond to changing user
behaviour on digital platforms and to grow in tandem with the e-commerce
industry could affect the financial condition of the company.
Potential loss of control over Unicommerce could
adversely affect the company’s business as it is a material subsidiary of the
company.
Thetechnology infrastructure and the technology
infrastructure of its third-party providers (including its cloud infrastructure
service providers) are susceptible to security breaches and cyber-attacks. This
could potentially result in damage to its operations, employees, users,
third-party providers, and its reputation.
The use of open-source software could adversely affect
its ability to offer products and services and subject it to possible litigation.
