October in India is packed with festivals, and shopping is a major part of the festivities. Flipkart's Big Billion Days Sale 2024, which started on September 27, faced backlash after numerous customers reported their orders being cancelled without notice.
October may be known for its weather and 'fall' feelings in the rest of the world, but in India, the month is more about the myriad festivities that occur one after the other. Essentially, the month revolves around cuisine, events, aarti, housekeeping, and other activities.
Shopping is one of the most popular activities on the list. With that in mind, it's understandable that many of the big online shopping apps have already begun their sales, as people have begun to prepare for the upcoming festivals.

#flipkartscam, This scam won't stop until we raise our voice against them. In DMs they just say that the stock was not available. Then why did you take orders and money? Look at the SS and Video. How many orders did Flipkart cancel. @flipkartsupport @Flipkart pic.twitter.com/Dp5KibDLj9
