Road Ahead
E-commerce is expanding steadily in the country. Customers have the ever increasing
choice of products at the lowest rates. E-commerce is probably creating the biggest
revolution in the retail industry, and this trend would continue in the years to come.
Retailers should leverage the digital retail channels (e-commerce), which would enable
them to spend less money on real estate while reaching out to more customers in tier-2
and tier-3 cities.
Both organised and unorganised retail companies have to work together to ensure better
prospects for the overall retail industry, while generating new benefits for their
customers.
Nevertheless, the long-term outlook for the industry is positive, supported by rising
incomes, favourable demographics, entry of foreign players, and increasing urbanisation.

1.2 ABOUT ECOMMERCE

 Electronic commerce, commonly written as e-commerce, is the trading or

facilitation of trading in products or services using computer networks, such as
the Internet.

 Electronic commerce draws on technologies such as mobile commerce, electronic

funds transfer, Internet marketing, online transaction processing, electronic data

6
 interchange(EDI), inventory management systems, and automated data
collection systems.

 Modern electronic commerce typically uses the World Wide Web for at least one
part of the transaction's life cycle, although it may also use other technologies
such as e-mail.

1.2.1 E-commerce Businesses may employ some or all of the following:

 Online shopping web sites for retail sales direct to consumers

 Providing or participating in online marketplaces, which process third-party business-
to-consumer or consumer-to-consumer sales
 Business-to-business buying and selling
 Gathering and using demographic data through web contacts and social media

1.2.3 Categories of E-Commerce:

As with traditional commerce, there are four principal categories of e-commerce: B2B,
B2C, C2B and C2C.

 B2B (Business to Business) — This involves companies doing business with each
other. One example is manufacturers selling to distributors and wholesalers selling to
retailers.
 B2C (Business to Consumer) — B2C consists of businesses selling to the general
public through shopping cart software, without needing any human interaction. This
is what most people think of when they hear "e-commerce." An example of this
would be Amazon.

7
 C2B (Consumer to Business) — In C2B e-commerce, consumers post a project with
a set budget online, and companies bid on the project. The consumer reviews the bids
and selects the company.
 C2C (Consumer to Consumer) — This takes place within online classified ads,
forums or marketplaces where individuals can buy and sell their goods. Examples of
this include eBay.

Some common applications related to electronic commerce

cross 500 million in 2016.In India, cash on delivery is the most preferred payment
method, accumulating 75% of the e-retail activities.[5] Demand for international consumer
products is growing much faster than in-country supply from authorised distributors and
e-commerce offerings. Largest e-commerce companies in India
are Flipkart, Snapdeal, Amazon India, Paytm.

8
Key drivers in Indian e-commerce are:
 Large percentage of population subscribed to broadband Internet, and a recent
introduction of 4G across the country.

 Explosive growth of Smartphone users, soon to be world's second largest smart

phone user base.

 Rising standards of living as result of fast decline in poverty rate.

 Availability of much wider product range

 Increased usage of online classified sites, with more consumer buying and selling
second-hand goods

Current Trends You Need to Know about the Indian E-Commerce Industry
India is a massive E-Commerce marketplace now with every age group comfortably
transacting online – more often preferring shopping online instead of visiting offline
stores for a bigger gamut of choices and offers. The West shops online 10X more than
India, but then India has the world’s 2nd largest number of smartphones and growing!

E-Commerce industry is growing at an astounding rate in India and is expected to

account for 1.61% of the global GDP by 2018. The Asia-Pacific region is currently the
largest E-Commerce market in the world, surpassing Europe. While China continues to
lead the race, the Indian E-Commerce Industry isn’t far behind. According to a report by
Forrester, India is set to become the fastest growing market in the Asia-Pacific region
with an expected growth rate of over 57% between 2012-2016.

Global trends

In 2010, the United Kingdom had the highest per capita e-commerce spending in the
world. As of 2013, the Czech Republic was the European country where e-commerce
delivers the biggest contribution to the enterprises´ total revenue. Almost a quarter (24%)
of the country's total turnover is generated via the online channel.

Among emerging economies, China's e-commerce presence continues to expand every

year. With 668 million Internet users, China's online shopping sales reached $253 billion
in the first half of 2015, accounting for 10% of total Chinese consumer retail sales in that
period. The Chinese retailers have been able to help consumers feel more comfortable
shopping online. e-commerce transactions between China and other countries increased
32% to 2.3 trillion yuan ($375.8 billion) in 2012 and accounted for 9.6% of China's total
international trade. In 2013, Alibaba had an e-commerce market share of 80% in China.
In 2014, there were 600 million Internet users in China (twice as many as in the US),
making it the world's biggest online market.] China is also the largest e-commerce market
in the world by value of sales, with an estimated US$899 billion in 2016.

In 2013, Brazil's e-commerce was growing quickly with retail e-commerce sales expected
to grow at a double-digit pace through 2014. By 2016, eMarketer expected retail e-
commerce sales in Brazil to reach $17.3 billion. India has an Internet user base of about
243.2 million as of January 2014. Despite being third largest user base in world, the
penetration of Internet is low compared to markets like the United States, United
Kingdom or France but is growing at a much faster rate, adding around 6 million new
entrants every month. In India, cash on delivery is the most preferred payment method,
accumulating 75% of the e-retail activities. The India retail market is expected to rise
from 2.5% in 2016 to 5% in 2020.

The rate of growth of the number of internet users in the Arab countries has been rapid –
13.1% in 2015. A significant portion of the e-commerce market in the Middle East
comprises people in the 30–34 year age group. Egypt has the largest number of internet

11
users in the region, followed by Saudi Arabia and Morocco; these constitute 3/4th of the
region’s share. Yet, internet penetration is low: 35% in Egypt and 65% in Saudi Arabia.
E-commerce has become an important tool for small and large businesses worldwide, not
only to sell to customers, but also to engage them.

In 2012, e-commerce sales topped $1 trillion for the first time in history.

Mobile devices are playing an increasing role in the mix of e-commerce, this is also
commonly called mobile commerce, or m-commerce. In 2014, one estimate saw
purchases made on mobile devices making up 25% of the market by 2017.

For traditional businesses, one research stated that information technology and cross-
border e-commerce is a good opportunity for the rapid development and growth of
enterprises. Many companies have invested enormous volume of investment in mobile
applications. The DeLone and McLean Model stated that three perspectives contribute to
a successful e-business: information system quality, service quality and users'
satisfaction. There is no limit of time and space, there are more opportunities to reach out
to customers around the world, and to cut down unnecessary intermediate links, thereby
reducing the cost price, and can benefit from one on one large customer data analysis, to
achieve a high degree of personal customization strategic plan, in order to fully enhance
the core competitiveness of the products in company.

Impact on markets and retailers

E-commerce markets are growing at noticeable rates. The online market is expected to
grow 56% from 2015-2020. Traditional markets are only expected 2% growth during the
same time. Brick and mortar retailers are struggling because of online retailer's ability to
offer lower prices and higher efficiency. Many larger retailers are able to maintain a
presence offline and online by linking physical and online offerings.

E-commerce allows customers to overcome geographical barriers and allows them to

purchase products anytime and from anywhere. Online and traditional markets have
different strategies for conducting business. Traditional retailers offer fewer assortment
of products because of shelf space where, online retailers often hold no inventory but
send customer orders directly to the manufacture. The pricing strategies are also different

12
for traditional and online retailers. Traditional retailers base their prices on store traffic
and the cost to keep inventory. Online retailers base prices on the speed of delivery.

There are two ways for marketers to conduct business through e-commerce: fully online
or online along with a brick and mortar store. Online marketers can offer lower prices,
greater product selection, and high efficiency rates. Many customers prefer online
markets if the products can be delivered quickly at relatively low price. However, online
retailers cannot offer the physical experience that traditional retailers can. It can be
difficult to judge the quality of a product without the physical experience, which may
cause customers to experience product or seller uncertainty. Another issue regarding the
online market is concerns about the security of online transactions. Many customers
remain loyal to well-known retailers because of this issue.

For a long time, companies had been troubled by the gap between the benefits which
supply chain technology has and the solutions to deliver those benefits. However, the
emergence of e-commerce has provided a more practical and effective way of delivering
the benefits of the new supply chain technologies.

E-commerce has the capability to integrate all inter-company and intra-company

functions, meaning that the three flows (physical flow, financial flow and information
flow) of the supply chain could be also affected by e-commerce. The affections on
physical flows improved the way of product and inventory movement level for
companies. For the information flows, e-commerce optimised the capacity of information
processing than companies used to have, and for the financial flows, e-commerce allows
companies to have more efficient payment and settlement solutions.[66]

In addition, e-commerce has a more sophisticated level of impact on supply chains:

Firstly, the performance gap will be eliminated since companies can identify gaps
between different levels of supply chains by electronic means of solutions; Secondly, as a
result of e-commerce emergence, new capabilities such implementing ERP systems,
like SAP ERP, Xero, or Megaventory, have helped companies to manage operations with
customers and suppliers. Yet these new capabilities are still not fully exploited. Thirdly,
technology companies would keep investing on new e-commerce software solutions as
they are expecting investment return. Fourthly, e-commerce would help to solve many

13
aspects of issues that companies may feel difficult to cope with, such as political barriers
or cross-country changes. Finally, e-commerce provides companies a more efficient and
effective way to collaborate with each other within the supply chain.

Impact on employment

E-commerce helps create new job opportunities due to information related services,
software app and digital products. At same time, it also causes job losses as it replaces
traditional shopping and do not need amount of in-store staff. Accompanied with the e-
commerce development, it requires broader range of skills in digit, technology and
information base. The employees should be capable at dealing with large number of
customers’ demands and order process. Therefore, it increases the demand of employees
with high skills and specialized expertise's as well as increases the wages for this group
of people. In contrast, people who with poor technical skills cannot enjoy the wages
welfare. On the other hand, because e-commerce requires sufficient stocks that could be
delivered to customers in time, the warehouse become an important element. Warehouse
needs more staff to manage, supervise and organize, thus the condition of warehouse
environment will be concerned by employees.

Impact on customers

E-commerce brings convenience for customers as they do not have to leave home and
only need to browse website online, especially for buying the products which are not sold
in nearby shops. It could help customers buy wider range of products and save
customers’ time. Consumers also gain power through online shopping. They are able to
research products and compare prices among retailers. Also, online shopping often
provides sales promotion or discounts code, thus it is more price effective for customers.
Moreover, e-commerce provides products’ detailed information; even the in-store staff
cannot offer such detailed explanation. Customers can also review and track the order
history online. However, e-commerce lacks human interaction for customers, especially
who prefer face-to-face connection. Customers are also concerned with the security of
online transactions and tend to remain loyal to well-know retailers.[63]When the customer
regret the purchase of a product, it involves returning goods and refunding process. This

14
process is inconvenient as customers need to pack and post the goods. If the products are
expensive, large or fragile, it refers to safety issues.

Social impact

Along with the e-commerce and its unique charm that has appeared gradually, virtual
enterprise, virtual bank, network marketing, online shopping, payment and advertising,
such this new vocabulary which is unheard-of and now has become as familiar to people.
This reflects that the e-commerce has huge impact on the economy and society from the
other side. For instance, B2B is a rapidly growing business in the world that leads to
lower cost and then improves the economic efficiency and also bring along the growth of
employment.

To understand how the e-commerce has affected the society and economy, this article
will mention six issues below:

1. e-commerce has changed the relative importance of time, but as the pillars of
indicator of the country's economic state that the importance of time should not
be ignored.
2. e-commerce offers the consumer or enterprise various information they need,
making information into total transparency, and enterprises are no longer is able
to use the mode of space or advertisement to raise their competitive
edge.] Moreover, in theory, perfect competition between the consumer
sovereignty and industry will maximize social welfare.
3. In fact, during the economic activity in the past, large enterprises frequently had
the advantage of information resources at the expense of consumers. Nowadays,
the transparent and real-time information protects the rights of consumers,
because the consumers can use the internet to pick out the portfolio to their own
benefit. The competitiveness of enterprises will be much more obvious than
before; consequently, social welfare would be improved by the development of e-
commerce.
4. The new economy led by e-commerce changes humanistic spirit as well, but
above all, employee loyalty. Due to the market with competition, the employee's

15
 level of professionalism becomes crucial for enterprise in the niche market. The
enterprises must pay attention to how to build up the enterprises inner culture and
a set of interactive mechanisms and it is the prime problem for them.
Furthermore, though the mode of e-commerce decreases the information cost and
transaction cost, its development also makes human beings overly computer
literate. Emphasizing a more humanistic attitude to work is another project for
enterprise to development. Life is the root of all and technology is merely an
assistive tool to support quality of life.
5. Online merchants gather purchase activity and interests of their customers. This
information is being used by the online marketers to promote relevant products
and services. This creates an extra convenience for online shoppers.
6. Online merchandise is searchable, which makes it more accessible to shoppers.
Many online retailers offer a review mechanism, which helps shoppers decide on
the product to purchase. This is another convenience and a satisfaction
improvement factor.

E-commerce is not a new industry, technically speaking, but it is creating a new

economic model. Most people agree that e-commerce will positively impact economic
society in the future, but in its early stages its impacts are difficult to gauge. Some have
noted that e-commerce is a sort of incorporeal revolution. e-commerce has numerous
social benefits: one, the cost of running an e-commerce business is very low when
compared with running a physical store; two, there is no rent to pay on expensive
premises; and three, business processes are simplified and less man-hours are required to
run a typical business smoothly. In the area of law, education, culture and also policy, e-
commerce will continue to rise in impact. e-commerce will truly take human beings into
the information society.

The Report for Q1 2016 uncovers:

1. Men in India shop 3X more than women!

Surprised? While women continue to dominate the in-store markets, men with disposable
incomes have taken it upon themselves to play the larger role in online shopping.

2. Cash-On-Delivery (COD) remains the most preferred online payment method.

We Indians love the Cash-On-Delivery option; it gives us more control over online
transactions since we don’t have to pay until the product is at our doorstep. COD option
during checkout has also been proven to boost impulse purchases.

3. 60% of online purchases happen during business hours. (9AM – 5PM)

This proven trend is a myth-buster, which shows how integral a part online shopping has
become in our day-to-day lives. Marketers can use this fact to schedule their promotions
across advertising channels accordingly.

Apart than these current trends, a section in our report is devoted to Insights on the best
practices to use these trends, with expert tips. For instance, now that we know of Indian
men shopping more frequently than their fairer counterparts, retailers are recommended

1.3.3. SWOT ANALYSIS OF THE ORGANISATION

Strengths

India’s E-commerce Retailer: WISHnBUY is the India’s E-commerce company & had
sold GMV (gross merchandising value) of $1 million till now.

 Experienced founders: The Founders of WISHnBUY, Narendra Bansal having

prior experience in the E-commerce industry helped the founders to work
strategically and differentiate their business in a highly competitive market.
 Strong background and deep pockets – Built on its early successes with books,
WISHnBUY now has product categories that include electronics, toys, games,
home and kitchen, white goods, brown goods and much more. WISHnBUY has
evolved as a global E-commerce giant in the last 2 years.
 Customer centric: Company’s robust CRM has created customer centric processes
in order to carefully record data on customer’s buying behavior. This enables
them to offer individual items, related items or bundle them as an offer, based
upon preferences demonstrated through purchases or items visited. Also, the
company claims that 55% of their customers are repeat buyers resulting in low
cost of acquisition of new buyers.
 Cost leadership: In order to differentiate itself, company has created several
strategic alliances with other companies to offer superior customer service. The
most important strategic tie ups are with logistics providers who control costs.
This contributes in a strong Value chain. Because of playing on economies of
scale, WISHnBUY is able to lower the inventory replenishment time.
 High Brand recall: WISHnBUY has established itself as a renowned E-commerce
company in India through TV ads, online branding and through its presence on
social media. Brand activities like the “Big billion day” have really increased
the brand recall of the company.

22
  Own Payment gateway & Logistic arm: Having its own Logistics arm E-kart &
payment gateway Payzippy has helped the company to control its Expenses.
Thereby passing the benefits to the end customers.

Weaknesses

 Limited Distribution channel reach: Although its logistics arm has kept cost’s
low, the reach has been affected which is a weakness for WISHnBUY. Due to use
of outsourcing, Global giants like Amazon & eBay can deliver
the product anywhere in the country. However, WISHnBUY is still struggling in
this field.
 Cost of Acquisition: Due to stiff competition in the market & low customer
retention, the cost of Acquisition is high because WISHnBUY acquires a lot of
customers through online advertising. As per WISHnBUY data, the company
spends R.s 400/- on acquiring a new customer on an average.
 Power in the hand of buyers: Since this industry is flooded with many players,
buyers have a lot of options to choose. Switching costs are also less for customers
since they can easily switch a service from one online retail company to another.
Same products will be displayed in several online retail websites. Product
differentiation is almost absent and the fight then begins on the basis of price
only.
 Shrinking margins: Due to extensive delivery network & price wars
WISHnBUYs margins are shrinking, which is resulting in even losses. In India,
WISHnBUY had a loss of $359 crs in the year 2013-14.
 Tax Avoidance issue: WISHnBUY has attracted negative publicity on account of
Tax Avoidance in countries. Most of its revenue is generated from these well
established markets.
 High Debt: In many developing nations WISHnBUY is still struggling to make
the business profitable thereby affecting the overall profitability of the group
resulting into High debt.

23
 Opportunities

 Expansion of business: By targeting other emerging markets company can

increase their revenues as well as it can have Economies of scale.
 Expanding their Product categories: This will increase their customer base & at
the same time will reduce the cost of acquisition and customer switch.
 Changing mentality of Indian customers: With increasing numbers of customers
getting comfortable with online shopping & increase in numbers of Internet users
in India, there is huge potential in this Industry.
 Supply chain: By optimizing their supply chain they can compete with the other
players & can manage the loosing sales on account of not making the product
available due to delivery constraints.
 Establishing in other developing economies: Like Amazon, WISHnBUY can
slowly start expanding out of India and establish operations in other countries as
well which will help improve revenues.

Threats

 Competition: Stiff competition from the global players like Amazon, eBay as well
as local player like Snapdeal, Tolexo and Shopclues who are continuously trying
to eat each other’s market share.
 Government regulations on the issues related to FDI in multi branding retail has
been a big hurdle in the success of the E-commerce industry in India.
