“Based on the phenomenal response we saw during the registration phase, we had anticipated a traffic spike and had scaled up our web services accordingly. But the number of customers who logged in immediately after the phone went live on our site caused the process to slow down for a while.

"Apologies for the issues our customers are facing. The Mi 3 launch is keeping our site very busy. Working on getting this fixed ASAP," Flipkart tweeted post the website crashed.
