The Indian ecommerce Boom: Get Set For The Future

Posted: June 7th, 2012

Indian ecommerce is the hot success story of the moment. 121 million internet users, 900 million mobile subscribers and a rapid boom in 4G connectivity all add up to the turbo-charged Indian economy we see online today. So much so that Indian ecommerce is expected to soar from US$10 billion to up to US$ 260 million in the next 12 to 15 years.

In March 2012 Mumbai’s Indian Fashion Forum recognised the potential for fashion ecommerce to become a star player in Indian economic growth, with the population’s surfers spending twice as much time on fashion websites as on any other sites.

Fancy your chances at breaking into the world’s most exciting emerging market? You’re looking at considerable issues in distribution. Complex taxation, a high cost travel infrastructure and disorganised warehousing models could all get in your way.

Smash the challenges with Indian ecommerce and distribution expertise

Here’s the good news.
