Barriers to the growth of

E-commerce in India

Presented By:-Rajiv Sharma


E-commerce can be defined as modern business
methodology that addresses the needs of the
organization, merchants and consumers to cut costs while
improving the quality of goods and services and speed of
service delivery.
E-commerce in India
 The cutting edge for business today is e-commerce.
Most people think e commerce means online
shopping.
 Providing a quick and convenient way of
exchanging goods and services both regionally and
globally, e-commerce has boomed. The travel
industry has benefited hugely through the growth
surge in e-commerce. According to IDC, online
sales of airline tickets, car rentals, and hotel
reservations make the travel industry one of the
strongest e-commerce markets in existence today.

Barriers to the growth of E Commerce in
India
Some of the barriers to e-commerce adoption in
India include the following:

 Limited Internet access among customers and


SMEs (current level of internet usage is low among
businesses and users)
 Poor telecom and infrastructure for reliable
connectivity (Internet connectivity slow, access
costs are high and connections are unreliable)
 Multiple gaps in the current legal and regulatory
framework
 Multiple issues of trust and lack of payment gateways
(privacy of personal and business data connected over
the Internet not assured; security and
confidentiality of data not in place)
How can we make a Successful E Commerce
Transaction?
 To make a successful e-commerce transaction both
the payment and delivery services must be made
efficient.
 There has been a rise in the number of companies'
taking up e-commerce in the recent past. Major
Indian portal sites have also shifted towards e-
commerce instead of depending on advertising
revenue. Many sites are now selling a diverse range
of products and services from flowers, greeting
cards, and movie tickets to groceries, electronic
gadgets, and computers.
 On the negative side there are many challenges faced
by e-commerce sites in India. The relatively small
credit card population and lack of uniform credit
agencies create a variety of payment challenges
unknown in the United States and Western Europe.
