Consumers around the world eagerly line up for the latest iPhone each year; however, in India, every new iPhone sparks a surge in price discussions about previous models. In this discount-saturated market, no deal seems to excite customers anymore. Flipkart ifPhone revolutionised India's iPhone market during Big Billion Days by turning consumers into price influencers. In a nation obsessed with discounts, Flipkart's strategy dared consumers to control prices through social responsibility rather than gratification. Unlike selling a kidney, consumers were challenged to battle their natural Indian instincts—refraining from honking at signals, spitting on walls, asking for a day off to watch the World Cup, or standing in airplanes when a flight lands—to trigger price drops on the iPhone 14. This innovative approach not only drove traffic to Flipkart's platforms but also fostered a sense of ownership and community engagement through a massive social response and a viral flight video. Flipkart ifPhone disrupted the discount narrative, proving that meaningful participation can be more rewarding than mere price slashes.
