The events
Flipkart – the poster boy of Indian e-commerce, Amazon, Snapdeal, Myntra, Jabong and a few other market leaders have scripted a golden chapter in the ‘buying behaviour of the value conscious Indian consumer’ by alienating the consumers from the necessities of touch & feel. By pampering the Indian consumer’s OCD (exchange & return), they have managed to create a warm & inviting e-commerce atmosphere! Man-oh-man, the Indian consumer has matured and haven’t these companies pulled a rabbit out of the hat?
The circumstances
Incredible smart phones sales (better than even the most positive estimates), deeper penetration of internet connectivity, availability of COD & better availability of plastic money has created a setting that’s perfect for the contemporary Indian youth! The shopping experience now is portable, relaxed, price authentic and yet diverse. That’s a great experience for all-day-shopping!
The mindsets
The Indian consumer has taken a plunge into an epic shopping adventure called ‘EXPERIMENTATION’. Lenses & eyewear, real estate, furniture and the list is endless - everything is expected to be available online. And if there’s nothing that can’t be bough online, there are a few categories (such as lingerie) that’ better bought online. And then there’s always the ‘discounts’ whose romantic charm never fails.
The minds are so open, that on every click, the Indian consumer is expecting more & better exciting shopping adventures!
