Introduction

I. INTRODUCTION

A. Evolution of E-Commerce

Indian consumers have always preferred shopping at small retail stores rather than online. India has over 14 million small shops, most of which are smaller than 600 square feet in size. India’s Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) government regulations are structured to protect these local shops. Walk-in small stores always gave them an advantage to see, feel, try and check the quality of any item purchased as well as the hospitality the customers experience when they walk into a small store. The customer then begins to leisurely look at products offered by the shopkeeper. The intent is hospitality—to put the customers first and make sure their needs are met. In India, listed prices are a mere suggestion or starting point. People negotiate in practically every transaction, whether it be for individual grocery items, clothes, or even taxi fares. The concept of e-commerce formally came in 1991, when internet practically did not even exist in India. Even worldwide, very few could access the buying and selling goods and services over the internet, as it is today. By the late ’90s, people became aware of the internet, but for a majority of them, it remained a luxury they did not particularly need. In a truly Indian manner, it was only in 2002, when the IRCTC introduced an online reservation system, that the public widely accepted the internet as something fruitful, by which time a company named Amazon, was already beginning to create a few murmurs in the US.The first real stepping stone towards setting off the e-commerce was perhaps the creation of Flipkart, when two engineers from IIT Delhi decided to sell books online from an apartment in Koramangala area of Bengaluru. A business idea not too dissimilar to that of Amazon. Little did they know that a decade later, US retail giants, Walmart, would acquire their business in a US$ 16 billion-dollar deal, after a fierce bidding war with none other than Amazon. The e-commerce market in India has undergone exceptional growth, as the majority of the Indian population is gaining access to personal computers, smartphones, tablets, and highspeed Internet services. the destiny of online business in India, where 75 percent of the adults are between 15 and 34 years old, an age group more likely to be proficient at utilizing modern technology, ultimately making digital commerce in India very attractive. According to Bain & Company, e-commerce in India is projected to grow four times faster than the total retail market over the next five years. Businesses have expanded the ecommerce consumer base by employing strategies such as online shopping websites, establishment of online marketplaces for third-party transactions, business-to-business buying and selling, online data gathering through social media, publishing online newsletters, and retailing novel products to prospective clients.
