Anand Chandrasekaran, Chief Product Officer, Snapdeal tweeted about the new mobile website

While both, Flipkart Lite and Snapdeal Snap-Lite are mobile websites, the Snapdeal Snap-Lite is optimized for slower connections.

Snapdeal's Lite version however doesn't seem to have the app-like features of Flipkart Lite - such as the ability to add a short cut on the home screen, push notifications, and offline functionality.

Flipkart and Snapdeal have a history of countering each other and have done so in the past by launching similar schemes one after another.
