New Delhi: Enthused by the overwhelming response from shoppers to Moto G launch, e-commerce player Flipkart is looking at a long-term relationship with handset maker Motorola Mobility.

The U.S.-based firm had launched its much-awaited budget phone Moto G in India through Flipkart on February 6. There has been tremendous response from online shoppers to the launch with the 16GB version being sold out in first 15 minutes.

“It is extremely overwhelming. We were surprised. We did not expect this kind of response. It was more than the traffic on peak Diwali rush. Our site also went down for a couple of minutes on February 6, the day of launch, due to traffic,” Flipkart co-founder and CEO Sachin Bansal.

Moto G’s 16 GB version, priced at 13,999, was sold out in the first 15 minutes of the launch and few units of the 8 GB version costing 12,499 were left, he added.

Asked whether Flipkart will continue selling Motorola products after the big-bang debut of Moto G, he said that both the firms believe online is the way forward.
