INTRODUCTION OF INDUSTRY:
The Web is impacting the manner in which customers shop and purchase labor and products, and
has quickly developed into a worldwide peculiarity. Many organizations have begun utilizing the
Web fully intent on reducing promoting expenses, accordingly decreasing the cost of their items
and administrations to remain ahead in profoundly cutthroat business sectors.

Organizations likewise utilize the Web to convey and scatter data, to sell the item, to take input
and furthermore to direct fulfillment overviews with clients. Clients utilize the Web not
exclusively to purchase the item on the web, yet additionally to look at costs, item includes and
after deal administration offices the will get in the event that they buy the item from a specific
store. Numerous specialists are hopeful about the possibility of online business. Notwithstanding
the colossal capability of the Web based business market, the Web gives a novel chance to
organizations to all the more effectively arrive at existing and likely clients.
Albeit a large portion of the income of online exchanges comes from business-to-business trade,
the specialists of business-to-shopper trade shouldn't lose certainty. It has been over 10 years
since business-to-customer Web based business previously developed. Researchers and
professionals of electronic business continually endeavor to acquire a superior knowledge into
shopper conduct in the internet.

Alongside the improvement of E-retailing, scientists keep on making sense of E-shoppers

conduct according to alternate points of view. A significant number of their examinations have
set new factors or suppositions which depend on the customary models of purchaser conduct,
and afterward look at their legitimacy in the Web setting.

Models of E-commerce

Business-to-Business (B2B):
B2B internet business is just characterized as internet business between organizations.
This is the kind of internet business that arrangements with connections between and
among organizations. Around 80% of web-based business is of this kind, and most
specialists anticipate that B2B online business will keep on becoming quicker than the
B2C section. Eg: indiamart.com, India business.com, tradeindia.com and so forth.

Business-to-consumer (B2C):

9
Business-to-purchaser online business, or trade among organizations and shoppers,
includes clients gathering data; buying actual merchandise (i.e., physical assets like
books or customer items) or data products (or merchandise of electronic material or
digitized content, like programming, or digital books); and, for data products, getting
items over an electronic organization.
It is the second biggest and the earliest type of online business. Its starting points can
be followed to internet retailing (or e-following). Hence, the more normal B2C plans
of action are the web-based retailing organizations, for example, flipkart.com
Amazon.com, snapdeal.com and so on.

Business-to-Government (B2G):
Business-to-government online business or B2G is for the most part characterized as
trade among organizations and the public area. It alludes to the utilization of the
Web for public acquisition, permitting strategies, and other government-related
activities. This sort of web-based business has two highlights: first, the public area
expects a pilot/driving job in laying out web-based business; and second, it is
expected that the public area has the best requirement for making its obtainment
framework more compelling.

Online buying approaches increment the straightforwardness of the obtainment

interaction (and lessen the gamble of inconsistencies). Until this point in time, be that
as it may, the size of the B2G web-based business market as a part of complete internet
business is unimportant, as government e-obtainment frameworks stay lacking.

Consumer-to-Consumer (C2C):
Purchaser to-shopper internet business or C2C is just trade between confidential people
or customers. This kind of online business is described by the development of
electronic commercial centers and online sales, especially in vertical enterprises where
firms/organizations can offer for what they need from among different providers. It
maybe has the best potential for growing new business sectors. Online closeout locales
eBay, Hurray! Barters are several instances of C2C sites.

M-commerce:
M-trade (portable business) is the trading of labor and products through remote innovation i.e.,
handheld gadgets like cell phones and individual computerized associates (PDAs).

Portable Trade is any exchange, including the exchange of possession or privileges to utilize
labor and products, which is started and additionally finished by utilizing versatile admittance to
PC interceded networks with the assistance of an electronic gadget.

10
Mobile Commerce in India:
Mobile is developing in India with in excess of 800 million supporters the nation over. The
progression as far as reception of PDAs with 3G empowered administrations is occurring at a
fast speed. This obviously has cleared a path for versatile promoting, portable application
improvement and versatile business in India. As per Buzz City’s most recent report, India is
top performing portable publicizing area in the entire of Asia. The development in versatile
publicizing worldwide is gigantic with promotions served on a year-on-year development of
139%. Concerning some calculating, in excess of 126 billion promotions were served in 2011,
contrasted and 52 billion out of 2010.

In India, Versatile Business is still in the improvement stage as the utilization of cell phones for
completing exchanges is extremely restricted. Be that as it may, the improvement is occurring at
a pleasant speed and before long, Versatile Trade is probably going to cause its presence to feel
as organizations and organizations have begun figuring out the advantages of Portable Business.
A portion of the organizations have even integrated this innovation. Airtel, ICICI, Dependence
are a portion of the organizations/organizations that are involving this innovation as their clients
are permitted to make restricted buys from their telephones. For the present, the clients are
essentially permitted to cover telephone bills, service bills, book film tickets, book travel tickets
with their mobile phones.

Notwithstanding, more administrations will be presented before long. Security is one of the
primary worries of Portable Trade as it's vital to offer secure exchanges and this is the
justification for why Versatile Business is still in the advancement progressively ease in
India.
For the time being, clients are chiefly permitted to do Versatile Banking for example to get to
the financial balance with a cell to take care of the service bills. With the ongoing pace of
improvement, clients will be before long permitted to buy items, promote, to partake in sales and
take care of bills with the assistance of a PDA, while they are progressing.

11
Online Shopping in India:
The Indian economy is scheduled to develop by vertically of 6 % yearly in the
following couple of years which is among the most noteworthy paces of any enormous
arising economy. What's more, a considerable amount of this development would be
on the rear of homegrown utilization of labor and products. Web based business is
arising at an extraordinary level given that coordinated retail is as yet not pervasive
across the length and expansiveness of the country with enormous corporate store
making up under 10% of the market.
Online business is assisting individuals in more modest towns in India with getting to
quality items and administrations like what individuals in the bigger urban areas
approach. It's being estimate that near 60% of online customers would come from past
the main eight enormous urban communities before the current year's over. Expanding
web entrance has assisted with growing the potential client pool. Web entrance is just
around 10% (or around 121 million clients) as against around 81% in the US and 36%
in China. Anyway, this number keeps on ascending at a steady speed due to falling
costs for broadband associations.

Indians are likewise progressively taking to cell phones for search as well as shopping
too. The quantity of cell phone clients is quickly expanding in India and with 4G
administrations going to remove it's supposed to get considerably more individuals
moving on the web. There are presently around 900 million versatile endorsers and this
number is supposed to contact 1.2 billion by 2015. Of these around 27 million are
assessed to be dynamic versatile web clients. All the more critically, 20% clients
showed goal to purchase items through their cell phones as against the ongoing 4% and
this number is supposed to increment in the following a few years as it were.

Development is helping web based business organizations break the latency for internet
shopping by offering advantages to clients not customarily accessible in a physical
store. Plans of action incorporate no inquiry posed to return strategies going from 7
days to 30 days, free item conveyances and the business elements evolving "money
down" model. The last development has truly opened the potential as individuals can
now arrange items and pay when they get actual conveyance of the item.

12
This has been a huge achievement since Indians are as yet hesitant to give their
credit/charge card subtleties on the web and need to have the mental solace that they
would really get the item whenever installment has been made. These advancements
have prompted further advancements downstream as auxiliary organizations are
creating to help these drives. A few organizations have started to foster help
components for the whole money down model and are attempting to arrive at the
remote of India, remembering for the insides where customary planned operations
organizations are as yet not totally present. The coordinated factors organizations are
additionally supporting their demonstration and have begun to assemble explicit
verticals and ability to address the necessities of web-based business organizations.

Divyan Gupta is the Pioneer and President of Keshiha Administrations Pvt. Ltd, an
organization with interests in the web, telecom, medical services, schooling and
cutting-edge innovation organizations has expressed that acknowledgment of web-
based shopping as a solid shopping mode has likewise assisted with expanding online
business take-up.

Right now, something like 10 million individuals do online exchanges out of a

surmised populace of 200 million credit and check card holders. Anyway, the most
recent industry report by First Information Partnership and ICICI Vendor
Administrations show that there are around 150 million clients that are prepared
for web-based business.

All the more significantly, the report shows that metropolitan Indian buyers are
currently sufficiently sure to make online acquisition of up to US$500 as against
US$40-100 in the new past. So not exclusively are the quantities of web-based
customers projected to increment yet there has been a genuine expansion in the all-out
esteem being spent on the web.

So, what occurs next for an industry which is retailing everything on the web from
blossoms to child items to books, coupons, clothes, music and electronic things to even
houses, vehicles and gems? While this online business play isn't similar to the prior
website bubble, there are obvious indicators that request may be coming in the midst of
all the commotion that is out there.

Initial a sluggish yet certain union is beginning to occur in the business. Specialists
express that throughout the following 12-year and a half there would be several multi-
item generalists who might find success alongside a forerunner in single item
classification.

13
Second, Financial speculators are beginning to be selective about which business to put
resources into, putting together their choices with respect to execution rather than
future forecasts. Valuations which went through the rooftop are presently getting back
to ordinary levels. As per an Avendus report, about US$829 million was siphoned in
the area in the initial 10 months in 2011. Anyway, this came down to US$16 million in
December 2011 and went up just barely to. US$24 million in January of this current
year.

Notwithstanding all of this, it's been an exceptionally noteworthy story up until this
point. The perfect example of the Indian web-based business industry is Flipkart.com, a
4 year old endeavor which displayed itself afterAmazon.com and is now telling a
valuation of US$ 500 million and is focusing on incomes of US$1 billion in the
following a few years. All of this has grabbed the eye of Amazon.com which entered
the market in February this year. It came in through Junglee.com, a cost examination
site and is now among the best 10 destinations in the country. Everybody is hence
attempting to underwrite before the 800 pound gorilla comes in completely on its own
as would be considered normal to be at some point around Q3/Q4 this year.

There is enormous interest for first rate proficient grade web 2.0 consultancy and
improvement. Not very many organizations have a drawn out vision around client
procurement, maintenance and steady discussions. Much more should be possible in
understanding the linkages among plan and usefulness in light of client experience and
social coordination. Notwithstanding, to prevail in an extreme market like India your
organization should be available to long haul vital organizations as opposed to a
forthright "pay for administrations" model. The potential gain would merit its weight.

India has in excess of 3,311 running web based business communities, as per research
led by eBay India for its 2011 registration. The Indian web is obfuscated with web
based business (B2B, B2C, B2G, and C2C type plans of action) new companies and
expanding like mushrooms on the yard.

India-an impending super power has in excess of 100 million web clients which
continues to develop by presentation of 2G and 3G. They need to be online consistently
by any web empowered devices. Individuals are moving from road dealing to online
web haggling. The normal Indian Mindset of ''seeing and accepting" or "how it will
look" is changing by presenting some imaginative plans of action like "money down"
by significant internet business destinations.

14
Shopping has been a fixation of ladies across the globe. Another shop in the area,
another shopping center nearby, another brand sent off - ladies are first to be aware and
first to go. With regards to shopping, ladies are more coordinated (45% of ladies come
to retail locations with shopping-records when contrasted with 27% of men),
regularized and they show a few unmistakable patterns in their purchasing ways of
behaving. A lady is bound to invest energy in a retail location (29%) when contrasted
with her male partner (23%).
At the point when a lady visits a retail location or any actual retail location she will
consider a couple of significant factors, for example,

● How conveniently the store is located

● Behavior of the staff
● Cleanliness (most of women are obsessed with it)
● Products put at an easy reach so that she can check the label, feel it (if required)
and physically compare it with a similar product from a different manufacturer
● Overall aesthetic decoration of the store
● And most importantly - freebies and discounts available with the products

Naturally, the same woman when she visits an online retail store will look for these
factors in her subconscious mind. She would love to get the same feeling as she derives
from the environment of her favorite retail store. She will unknowingly demand these
from your online shopping store. She would choose to stay and buy from your online
store if you can meet the following:
● Save time: You should give her the navigational freedom and easy roam around
options in your store; give her instantly whatever she wants.

● Get a better selection: Your product should be the best in the designated price
bracket

● Complete product details: Do not describe your products in single words; give
as much detail as possible.

● Better value/offer: Your freebies should be 'useful' enough and the discount
should be noticeable

● Logistics: You must deliver the product right at her doorsteps and nowhere else!

● Flexible return policy: Many times, a woman takes a second opinion and you
should respect this nature. Be flexible if she asks you to replace what she has
bought.

15
It is now conceivable for the modest neighbourhood grocery store to become digitised and
accessible on your smartphone, tablet, or computer, demonstrating that no segment of the retail
market is exempt from the online buying revolution. Imagine not having to wait in lengthy
checkout lines, determine how many items you have in order to use the Fast Lane, leave your
grocery list at home, or lug hefty bags up your front steps. Internet grocery shopping is
fundamentally altering how consumers interact with the food industry and turning a service that
might have formerly seemed opulent into a common convenience.

Online Grocery Shopping

Proving that no sector of the retail market is safe from the online shopping revolution,
it is now possible for the humble hometown grocery store to become digitized and
available on your smartphone, tablet, or computer. Just think: no more long checkout
lines, counting the number of items to see if you qualify for the Express Lane,
forgetting your grocery list at home, or carrying heavy bags up your front steps. Online
grocery shopping is dramatically changing the consumer's relationship with the food
market and making a service that may have once felt luxurious into an everyday
convenience.

Ordering Food Online

An online grocery store is a website that allows users to purchase food over the Internet
to be delivered to the person at a later time. Ordering food on the Internet is similar to
ordering any other product--the desired food items can be searched for specifically, or
one can browse through listings of products or sections, similar to sections one might
walk through at an actual grocery store. The products offered by an online grocery store
are identical to a normal grocery store. When one has finished shopping, checkout is
made with a credit card, and the buyer must specify certain hours that he will be
available to receive the food for delivery. Since Internet groceries must deliver the food
to the customers, they typically pay a fee for delivery based on the amount of food they
buy.

Benefits of Online Grocery Shopping

The primary benefit of online grocery shopping is convenience. By ordering online,

one can quickly search for the products she needs and order them without having to
physically walk through expansive aisles. It also saves travel expenses and time going
to the grocery store. Considering the wide availability of the Internet, it also means
grocery shopping can be done from remote locations or in the middle of doing other
tasks. For instance, using an online grocery store can allow a person to do all her
grocery shopping during her lunch break at work. It is also very useful for those
without a car or who may be physically unable to move around easily, since the food is

16
delivered right to their doors. The use of online-based grocery stores is increasing in
popularity as more and more people become comfortable with using the Internet to
make purchases.

Disadvantages of Online Grocery Shopping

Perhaps the largest disadvantages of shopping online are that it costs extra money,
since food must be delivered, and that the food ordered is not obtained immediately. If
someone were making a certain recipe and discovered he needed an additional
ingredient, he would probably not be able to order it online and get it quickly enough to
finish his dish. In the same way, it forces a person to plan his food buying in advance
of when he will need it--if delivery will take a day or two, a person needs to plan to
have an extra day or two of essential foods available before he runs out. Another
disadvantage is that online shopping forces the customer to be home during a certain
period to collect the food when it is delivered. Also, online grocery stores will often
only cover specific delivery areas.

How Does Online Grocery Shopping Work?

Following are the basic parameters that determine the working of online grocery
shopping.

Creating the Website

The most important part of online grocery shopping is the website itself. The website
should have a complete list of groceries that are able to be delivered as well as the
prices for each item.

This website should then have a "shopping cart" where a user can add items to a list of
things to be ordered, as well as view and edit items that she is planning to purchase.
Finally, this website should have the ability for the user to enter her address and pay
for the order.

Filling the Order and Shipping

The next step is to take the submitted order and use it to collect and deliver the items on
the list. In general, fulfillment of the grocery order needs to be done manually by a
stock boy or other employee.

17
This process can be made easier by having a well-organized room where the products
can be easily and efficiently located. The stock person should also check to make
sure that the items placed in the order match the list that the user created.

Then, once the order has been compiled, the collection of food needs to be placed in
a vehicle and delivered to the customer.

Restocking and Processing Payments

Clearly, it is critical to ensure that all the items listed on the website are in stock and
able to be shipped. As a result, the stockroom needs to be carefully checked to ensure
inventory levels are sufficient.

Also, it is important to have the ability to obtain and process payments made by credit
card. Also, in order to encourage repeat customers, it can be helpful to require
customers to have a username, which would allow information to be stored. This can
also help create "suggested" carts of food items they commonly purchase.

An online grocery store is a website that enables customers to order groceries online for delivery
to their homes.

 LITERATURE REVIEW

Throughout the long term, innovation has taken a tremendous turn. As an aid, nearly all that has
been made accessible to individuals on the web. Online Basic food item being one of them. For
individuals to adjust to a change the process can't be rushed. It was observed that cost
cognizance, comfort, assortment and simple installment choices were a couple of elements that
influenced the buyers to shop on the web. Nonetheless, a large portion of the purchasers were
stressed over the security of their installment subtleties. (Gurleen, 2012)

Online staple administrations have been attempting to take a hold in the market anyway because
of the absence of accessibility in an area and because of the customary propensities for the
purchasers, an enormous crowd has not had the option to acquire its advantages. It was seen that
individuals use OGS because of the apparent usability. By and by, online shopping for food is as
yet another idea and, in this way, individuals can't connect with it or they don't have a reasonable
comprehension of the dangers implied in it. (Sherah Kurnia, simulated intelligence Wen Jenny
Chien, 2003)

As online basic food item benefits have not had the option to take special care of the provincial
regions and towns, the mindfulness about the equivalent is additionally restricted in such regions.
There is an enormous part of the crowd who is uninformed about such administrations.
Tremendous contrasts were found in different segment qualities with respect to the attention to
the OGS. Factors that affected the choice of the purchasers significantly were viewed as seen

"E-commerce: A boon for the current economic downturn"

First Data Corporation and ICICI Merchant Services, has laid down some facts that
the ecommerce market in India had clocked close to Rs 50,000 cores by the end of
2011. (Jonathan Taylor 2001)

Even though there are less than 10 million internet users who are actually engaging
in ecommerce activities, there are about 150 million internet users in India or around
75 million households that are ready for e-commerce.
24
With entry and operational costs being comparatively low than the other countries like
US, the second half of 2011 and the beginning of the current calendar have seen the
launch of a good number of new e-commerce sites spanning across a variety of
businesses - women's fashion, men's fashion, shoes, followed by accessories, groceries,
sports, toys, home furnishings, jewelry, automotive, bicycles, electronics and electrical
equipment etc. (Eva Antilla 2003)

Key drivers for success for e-commerce

Reduction in operational cost as the entire business can be moved online, the need for
physical stores has become obsolete. Less infrastructural investment and associated
labor costs drives up the profit margin. (Jason Thomas 2002)

It is far easier and quicker to compare prices of goods online, equipping the customer
with the information to decide the right price or terms for themselves. With services
like COD, customers can trust the process of going online and purchasing.
Market penetration also becomes far more achievable with e-commerce; it is possible
for a merchant in Mumbai to extend his reach to north-eastern cities or even rural
villages that are now connected by the online network. (Marie Alan 1999)

E-commerce facilitates shopping anytime, anywhere and for almost anything desired.
Busy consumers prefer this to the restrictions of when a mall/shop is open and the need
to physically travel to a shop. Online business takes shopping a step further by taking
itself to the customer creating conveniences of shopping anywhere and at any time.

In India, with the increasing propensity of social media, businesses have now begun to
engage their customers on social networking portals such as Facebook. These are likely
to be rapidly developing marketing channels for the future.

"These businesses are difficult to turn into profitable ventures due to

the low margins and the logistics costs involved."

Gaurav Saraf, director of Epiphany Ventures says that, the concept of online grocery
shopping faces the problem of turning their business into profitable ventures as the
concept is new in the market which leads to low margin along with low margin high
cost is involved when it comes to logistics. In addition to these problems the perishable
items such as fruits & vegetables have a short shelf life, if these items are not delivered
before the expiry of their shelf life it could cause wastage and also add up the cost.

25
From the above comment a conclusion is arrived that these business ventures have a
very thin margin when it comes to business operations.

"Connecting the local kirana stores with the buyers while storing
inventories on the Cloud"

Vijay Singh, CEO & MD of Aaramshop.com says that in order to reduce the cost to
their business operation they applied the concept of cloud computing, where it connects
the local kirana shops with the buyers. It enables the business to reduce the inventory
cost as all the inventories are handled by the local vendor.

“Create a work-life balance"

Vijay Singh, CEO & MD of Aaramshop.com states that the concept of online grocery
shopping creates the work-life balance in urban areas where the urban couples are busy
in their work culture and cannot give time towards their daily life needs.

"It is a difficult venture and these challenges make investors more cautious
while evaluating such initiatives."

Singhal of SAIF Partners, explains that it is difficult for the investor to invest in these
types of business where the market is extremely fragmented.

Such a venture can only survive on repeat purchases and that's what one needs to
target. If a company knows what it needs to stock, how much it needs to stock and
where it needs to deliver, the business will become simpler to manage and run. The
firm needs to find a strong value proposition and target market to survive the cut-throat
competition

The solution to the above problem stated can be that in order to survive in the market
the business should target the satisfied consumer to create repeat purchases. Also
inventory management should be applied to these organizations. It will enable them to
know what it needs to stock, how much it needs to stock and where it needs to deliver,
this will allow it to operate its business operation smoothly.

the firm should start up by bringing existing retailers online.

Kirana Store from the listed stores along with a convenient time of
the delivery.

delivered to the address at the time mentioned with the payment of
cash only on delivery.

Following are the important aspects of the proposed business plan:

grocery websites, as they don't have to stock any inventory of grocery
products.

local retailers.

personal, computer database hardware & software, building cost

 • It will allow the firm to eliminate the cost of brand loyalty of the
branded grocery item which reduces the operating cost to a
great extent.

-It will develop a better relationship between their neighborhood retailer

and the consumers.

-It will allow more user interference, when the consumer can order their
groceries from the trusted local retailer, than an unknown player in the
market.
Also it will protect the local retailer from diminishing from the market due
the presence of supermarkets and foreign players in the market.
-In order to increase the productivity of the site, the firm should offer special
discounts with respect to seasons like Diwali, Ganapati, Holi etc., also
