Flipkart's had to apologise to its customers after its inaugural sale last year for glitches and admitted its "failure" in living up to the expectations of its customers.

Flipkart claimed to have got a billion hits for its special sales offer in 2014, but millions of buyers felt cheated on its discounts, as they alleged the prices quoted were higher, even as its website crashed multiple times.

The beginning of this year's sale also didn't do as expected for Flipkart with a number of users reporting errors both on the Flipkart website and app.

Rivals Snapdeal and Amazon have also organised similar sales.
