The internet is being developed rapidly since last two decades, and with relevant digital economy that is driven by information technology also being developed worldwide. After a long term development of internet, which rapidly increased web users and highly speed internet connection, and some new technology also have been developed and used for web developing, those lead to firms can promote and enhance images of product and services through web site. Therefore, detailed product information and improved service attracts more and more people changed their consumer behaviour from the traditional mode to more rely on the internet shopping. On the other hand, more companies have realized that the consumer behaviour transformation is unavoidable trend, and thus change their marketing strategy. As the recent researches have indicated that, the internet shopping particularly in business to consumer (B2C) has risen and online shopping become more popular to many people. According to the report, The Emerging Digital Economy II, published by the US Department of Commerce, in some companies, the weight of e-commerce in total sales is quite high. For instance, the Dell computer company have reached 18 million dollars sales through the internet during the first quarter of 1999. As a result, about 30% of its 5.5 billion dollars total sales were achieved through the internet (Moon, 2004). Therefore, to understand internet shopping and its impact on consumer behaviour could help companies making use of it as a form of doing e-business.
There are many reasons for such a rapid developing of internet shopping, which mainly due to the benefits that internet provides. First of all, the internet offers different kind of convenience to consumers. Obviously, consumers do not need go out looking for product information as the internet can help them to search from online sites, and it also helps evaluate between each sites to get the cheapest price for purchase. Furthermore, the internet can enhance consumer use product more efficiently and effectively than other channels to satisfy their needs. Through the different search engines, consumers save time to access to the consumption related information, and which information with mixture of images, sound, and very detailed text description to help consumer learning and choosing the most suitable product (Moon, 2004). However, internet shopping has potential risks for the customers, such as payment safety, and after service. Due to the internet technology developed, internet payment recently becomes prevalent way for purchasing goods from the internet. Internet payment increase consumptive efficiency, at the same time, as its virtual property reduced internet security. After service is another way to stop customer shopping online. It is not like traditional retail, customer has risk that some after service should face to face serve, and especially in some complicated goods.

A Review of Factors Affecting Consumer Behavior towards Online ShoppingDr. Amarjeet Singh
Online shopping is a form of electronic commerce
which allows consumers to directly buy goods or services
from a seller over the Internet using a web browser. Online
shopping provides a good example of business revolution. Ecommerce has made life Simple and innovative of individual
and groups. Consumer behavior on online shopping is
different from physical market where he/she has access to see
the products online shopping sites are fast replacing
traditional or physical shops. Over, the years the trust of the
customers for online shopping sites has increased
considerably. The increase in the number of these sites on one
hand has led to a fierce competition which means better and
cheaper products for customers. However, at the same time
customers have their privacy concerns when it comes to
shopping online. Internet is changing the way consumers
shop and buy goods and services and has rapidly evolved into
a global phenomenon. The technology oriented factors like
guaranteed quality, cash on delivery discounts and
promotions are the major specific factors influencing
customer’s attitudes toward online shopping. This research
paper attempts to analyze the consumer behavior towards
online shopping and the various factors influencing trend of
online shopping.

Emerging trends in E-tailing: A novel perspectiveBella Meraki
E-tailing (or electronic retailing) is the selling of retail goods on the Internet. It is the most common form of business-to-consumer (B2C) transaction. Now it has become the new shopping method. When most of the consumers spend more time for social meetings, entertainments and other recreational activities, there is hardly any time for physical shopping. E-tailing sites provides exclusive feature which no other retail outlets can offer and makes the customer shopping experience new and worthwhile.
Online Shop-ping in India is evolving fast and has the prospective to grow exponentially in the times to come. Online shopping is a growing area of technology. Online shopping has spread into every corner of life, linking people to the culture of capitalism in frequent and daily ways. In general, shopping has always catered to middle class and upper class women. Shopping is fragmented and pyramid-shaped. Online shopping is the process consumers go through to purchase products or services over the Internet. An online shop, eshop, e-store, internet shop, web shop, web store, online store, or virtual store evokes the physical analogy of buying products or services at a bricks-and-mortar retailer or in a shopping mall. Establishing a store on the Internet, allows for retailers to expand their market and reach out to consumers who may not otherwise visit the physical store. The convenience of online shopping is the main attraction for the consumers. Unique online payment systems offer easy and safe purchasing from other individuals. Online shopping allows people with a broad range of products in different categories. It also gives a chance to compare the same product with the others and also shows the best deal.. The benefits of shopping online also come with potential risks and dangers that consumers must be aware of. This research is conducted to study the emerging trends of online shopping retails by retailers. This report includes the various factors which are taken into consideration by the consumers for purchasing through a retail store or for online shopping. Report also takes into consideration the factors which forms the basis of comparison made by the customers, mainly the women for online shopping vis-à-vis shopping through a retail store.
A Novel Method for Prevention of Bandwidth Distributed Denial of Service AttacksIJERD Editor
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attacks became a massive threat to the Internet. Traditional
Architecture of internet is vulnerable to the attacks like DDoS. Attacker primarily acquire his army of Zombies,
then that army will be instructed by the Attacker that when to start an attack and on whom the attack should be
done. In this paper, different techniques which are used to perform DDoS Attacks, Tools that were used to
perform Attacks and Countermeasures in order to detect the attackers and eliminate the Bandwidth Distributed
Denial of Service attacks (B-DDoS) are reviewed. DDoS Attacks were done by using various Flooding
techniques which are used in DDoS attack.
The main purpose of this paper is to design an architecture which can reduce the Bandwidth
Distributed Denial of service Attack and make the victim site or server available for the normal users by
eliminating the zombie machines. Our Primary focus of this paper is to dispute how normal machines are
turning into zombies (Bots), how attack is been initiated, DDoS attack procedure and how an organization can
save their server from being a DDoS victim. In order to present this we implemented a simulated environment
with Cisco switches, Routers, Firewall, some virtual machines and some Attack tools to display a real DDoS
attack. By using Time scheduling, Resource Limiting, System log, Access Control List and some Modular
policy Framework we stopped the attack and identified the Attacker (Bot) machines
Hearing loss is one of the most common human impairments. It is estimated that by year 2015 more
than 700 million people will suffer mild deafness. Most can be helped by hearing aid devices depending on the
severity of their hearing loss. This paper describes the implementation and characterization details of a dual
channel transmitter front end (TFE) for digital hearing aid (DHA) applications that use novel micro
electromechanical- systems (MEMS) audio transducers and ultra-low power-scalable analog-to-digital
converters (ADCs), which enable a very-low form factor, energy-efficient implementation for next-generation
DHA. The contribution of the design is the implementation of the dual channel MEMS microphones and powerscalable
ADC system.
Influence of tensile behaviour of slab on the structural Behaviour of shear c...IJERD Editor
-A composite beam is composed of a steel beam and a slab connected by means of shear connectors
like studs installed on the top flange of the steel beam to form a structure behaving monolithically. This study
analyzes the effects of the tensile behavior of the slab on the structural behavior of the shear connection like slip
stiffness and maximum shear force in composite beams subjected to hogging moment. The results show that the
shear studs located in the crack-concentration zones due to large hogging moments sustain significantly smaller
shear force and slip stiffness than the other zones. Moreover, the reduction of the slip stiffness in the shear
connection appears also to be closely related to the change in the tensile strain of rebar according to the increase
of the load. Further experimental and analytical studies shall be conducted considering variables such as the
reinforcement ratio and the arrangement of shear connectors to achieve efficient design of the shear connection
in composite beams subjected to hogging moment.
Gold prospecting using Remote Sensing ‘A case study of Sudan’IJERD Editor
Gold has been extracted from northeast Africa for more than 5000 years, and this may be the first
place where the metal was extracted. The Arabian-Nubian Shield (ANS) is an exposure of Precambrian
crystalline rocks on the flanks of the Red Sea. The crystalline rocks are mostly Neoproterozoic in age. ANS
includes the nations of Israel, Jordan. Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Yemen, and Somalia.
Arabian Nubian Shield Consists of juvenile continental crest that formed between 900 550 Ma, when intra
oceanic arc welded together along ophiolite decorated arc. Primary Au mineralization probably developed in
association with the growth of intra oceanic arc and evolution of back arc. Multiple episodes of deformation
have obscured the primary metallogenic setting, but at least some of the deposits preserve evidence that they
originate as sea floor massive sulphide deposits.
The Red Sea Hills Region is a vast span of rugged, harsh and inhospitable sector of the Earth with
inimical moon-like terrain, nevertheless since ancient times it is famed to be an abode of gold and was a major
source of wealth for the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt. The Pharaohs old workings have been periodically
rediscovered through time. Recent endeavours by the Geological Research Authority of Sudan led to the
discovery of a score of occurrences with gold and massive sulphide mineralizations. In the nineties of the
previous century the Geological Research Authority of Sudan (GRAS) in cooperation with BRGM utilized
satellite data of Landsat TM using spectral ratio technique to map possible mineralized zones in the Red Sea
Hills of Sudan. The outcome of the study mapped a gossan type gold mineralization. Band ratio technique was
applied to Arbaat area and a signature of alteration zone was detected. The alteration zones are commonly
associated with mineralization. The alteration zones are commonly associated with mineralization. A filed check
confirmed the existence of stock work of gold bearing quartz in the alteration zone. Another type of gold
mineralization that was discovered using remote sensing is the gold associated with metachert in the Atmur
Desert.
Reducing Corrosion Rate by Welding DesignIJERD Editor
The paper addresses the importance of welding design to prevent corrosion at steel. Welding is
used to join pipe, profiles at bridges, spindle, and a lot more part of engineering construction. The
problems happened associated with welding are common issues in these fields, especially corrosion.
Corrosion can be reduced with many methods, they are painting, controlling humidity, and also good
welding design. In the research, it can be found that reducing residual stress on the welding can be
solved in corrosion rate reduction problem.
Preheating on 500oC and 600oC give better condition to reduce corosion rate than condition after
preheating 400oC. For all welding groove type, material with 500oC and 600oC preheating after 14 days
corrosion test is 0,5%-0,69% lost. Material with 400oC preheating after 14 days corrosion test is 0,57%-0,76%
lost.
Welding groove also influence corrosion rate. X and V type welding groove give better condition to reduce
corrosion rate than use 1/2V and 1/2 X welding groove. After 14 days corrosion test, the samples with
X welding groove type is 0,5%-0,57% lost. The samples with V welding groove after 14 days corrosion test is
0,51%-0,59% lost. The samples with 1/2V and 1/2X welding groove after 14 days corrosion test is 0,58%-
0,71% lost.
Router 1X3 – RTL Design and VerificationIJERD Editor
Routing is the process of moving a packet of data from source to destination and enables messages
to pass from one computer to another and eventually reach the target machine. A router is a networking device
that forwards data packets between computer networks. It is connected to two or more data lines from different
networks (as opposed to a network switch, which connects data lines from one single network). This paper,
mainly emphasizes upon the study of router device, it‟s top level architecture, and how various sub-modules of
router i.e. Register, FIFO, FSM and Synchronizer are synthesized, and simulated and finally connected to its top

Active Power Exchange in Distributed Power-Flow Controller (DPFC) At Third Ha...IJERD Editor
This paper presents a component within the flexible ac-transmission system (FACTS) family, called
distributed power-flow controller (DPFC). The DPFC is derived from the unified power-flow controller (UPFC)
with an eliminated common dc link. The DPFC has the same control capabilities as the UPFC, which comprise
the adjustment of the line impedance, the transmission angle, and the bus voltage. The active power exchange
between the shunt and series converters, which is through the common dc link in the UPFC, is now through the
transmission lines at the third-harmonic frequency. DPFC multiple small-size single-phase converters which
reduces the cost of equipment, no voltage isolation between phases, increases redundancy and there by
reliability increases. The principle and analysis of the DPFC are presented in this paper and the corresponding
simulation results that are carried out on a scaled prototype are also shown.
Mitigation of Voltage Sag/Swell with Fuzzy Control Reduced Rating DVRIJERD Editor
Power quality has been an issue that is becoming increasingly pivotal in industrial electricity
consumers point of view in recent times. Modern industries employ Sensitive power electronic equipments,
control devices and non-linear loads as part of automated processes to increase energy efficiency and
productivity. Voltage disturbances are the most common power quality problem due to this the use of a large
numbers of sophisticated and sensitive electronic equipment in industrial systems is increased. This paper
discusses the design and simulation of dynamic voltage restorer for improvement of power quality and
reduce the harmonics distortion of sensitive loads. Power quality problem is occurring at non-standard
voltage, current and frequency. Electronic devices are very sensitive loads. In power system voltage sag,
swell, flicker and harmonics are some of the problem to the sensitive load. The compensation capability
of a DVR depends primarily on the maximum voltage injection ability and the amount of stored
energy available within the restorer. This device is connected in series with the distribution feeder at
medium voltage. A fuzzy logic control is used to produce the gate pulses for control circuit of DVR and the
circuit is simulated by using MATLAB/SIMULINK software.
Study on the Fused Deposition Modelling In Additive ManufacturingIJERD Editor
Additive manufacturing process, also popularly known as 3-D printing, is a process where a product
is created in a succession of layers. It is based on a novel materials incremental manufacturing philosophy.
Unlike conventional manufacturing processes where material is removed from a given work price to derive the
final shape of a product, 3-D printing develops the product from scratch thus obviating the necessity to cut away
materials. This prevents wastage of raw materials. Commonly used raw materials for the process are ABS
plastic, PLA and nylon. Recently the use of gold, bronze and wood has also been implemented. The complexity
factor of this process is 0% as in any object of any shape and size can be manufactured.

Secure Image Transmission for Cloud Storage System Using Hybrid SchemeIJERD Editor
- Data over the cloud is transferred or transmitted between servers and users. Privacy of that
data is very important as it belongs to personal information. If data get hacked by the hacker, can be
used to defame a person’s social data. Sometimes delay are held during data transmission. i.e. Mobile
communication, bandwidth is low. Hence compression algorithms are proposed for fast and efficient
transmission, encryption is used for security purposes and blurring is used by providing additional
layers of security. These algorithms are hybridized for having a robust and efficient security and
transmission over cloud storage system.
Application of Buckley-Leverett Equation in Modeling the Radius of Invasion i...IJERD Editor
A thorough review of existing literature indicates that the Buckley-Leverett equation only analyzes
waterflood practices directly without any adjustments on real reservoir scenarios. By doing so, quite a number
of errors are introduced into these analyses. Also, for most waterflood scenarios, a radial investigation is more
appropriate than a simplified linear system. This study investigates the adoption of the Buckley-Leverett
equation to estimate the radius invasion of the displacing fluid during waterflooding. The model is also adopted
for a Microbial flood and a comparative analysis is conducted for both waterflooding and microbial flooding.
Results shown from the analysis doesn’t only records a success in determining the radial distance of the leading
edge of water during the flooding process, but also gives a clearer understanding of the applicability of
microbes to enhance oil production through in-situ production of bio-products like bio surfactans, biogenic
gases, bio acids etc.
Gesture Gaming on the World Wide Web Using an Ordinary Web CameraIJERD Editor
- Gesture gaming is a method by which users having a laptop/pc/x-box play games using natural or
bodily gestures. This paper presents a way of playing free flash games on the internet using an ordinary webcam
with the help of open source technologies. Emphasis in human activity recognition is given on the pose
estimation and the consistency in the pose of the player. These are estimated with the help of an ordinary web
camera having different resolutions from VGA to 20mps. Our work involved giving a 10 second documentary to
the user on how to play a particular game using gestures and what are the various kinds of gestures that can be
performed in front of the system. The initial inputs of the RGB values for the gesture component is obtained by
instructing the user to place his component in a red box in about 10 seconds after the short documentary before
the game is finished. Later the system opens the concerned game on the internet on popular flash game sites like
miniclip, games arcade, GameStop etc and loads the game clicking at various places and brings the state to a
place where the user is to perform only gestures to start playing the game. At any point of time the user can call
off the game by hitting the esc key and the program will release all of the controls and return to the desktop. It
was noted that the results obtained using an ordinary webcam matched that of the Kinect and the users could
relive the gaming experience of the free flash games on the net. Therefore effective in game advertising could
also be achieved thus resulting in a disruptive growth to the advertising firms.
Hardware Analysis of Resonant Frequency Converter Using Isolated Circuits And...IJERD Editor
-LLC resonant frequency converter is basically a combo of series as well as parallel resonant ckt. For
LCC resonant converter it is associated with a disadvantage that, though it has two resonant frequencies, the
lower resonant frequency is in ZCS region[5]. For this application, we are not able to design the converter
working at this resonant frequency. LLC resonant converter existed for a very long time but because of
unknown characteristic of this converter it was used as a series resonant converter with basically a passive
(resistive) load. . Here, it was designed to operate in switching frequency higher than resonant frequency of the
series resonant tank of Lr and Cr converter acts very similar to Series Resonant Converter. The benefit of LLC
resonant converter is narrow switching frequency range with light load[6] . Basically, the control ckt plays a
very imp. role and hence 555 Timer used here provides a perfect square wave as the control ckt provides no
slew rate which makes the square wave really strong and impenetrable. The dead band circuit provides the
exclusive dead band in micro seconds so as to avoid the simultaneous firing of two pairs of IGBT’s where one
pair switches off and the other on for a slightest period of time. Hence, the isolator ckt here is associated with
each and every ckt used because it acts as a driver and an isolation to each of the IGBT is provided with one
exclusive transformer supply[3]. The IGBT’s are fired using the appropriate signal using the previous boards
and hence at last a high frequency rectifier ckt with a filtering capacitor is used to get an exact dc
waveform .The basic goal of this particular analysis is to observe the wave forms and characteristics of
converters with differently positioned passive elements in the form of tank circuits.

“MS-Extractor: An Innovative Approach to Extract Microsatellites on „Y‟ Chrom...IJERD Editor
Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR), also known as Microsatellites, have been extensively used as
molecular markers due to their abundance and high degree of polymorphism. The nucleotide sequences of
polymorphic forms of the same gene should be 99.9% identical. So, Microsatellites extraction from the Gene is
crucial. However, Microsatellites repeat count is compared, if they differ largely, he has some disorder. The Y
chromosome likely contains 50 to 60 genes that provide instructions for making proteins. Because only males
have the Y chromosome, the genes on this chromosome tend to be involved in male sex determination and
development. Several Microsatellite Extractors exist and they fail to extract microsatellites on large data sets of
giga bytes and tera bytes in size. The proposed tool “MS-Extractor: An Innovative Approach to extract

Importance of Measurements in Smart GridIJERD Editor
- The need to get reliable supply, independence from fossil fuels, and capability to provide clean
energy at a fixed and lower cost, the existing power grid structure is transforming into Smart Grid. The
development of a smart energy distribution grid is a current goal of many nations. A Smart Grid should have
new capabilities such as self-healing, high reliability, energy management, and real-time pricing. This new era
of smart future grid will lead to major changes in existing technologies at generation, transmission and
distribution levels. The incorporation of renewable energy resources and distribution generators in the existing
grid will increase the complexity, optimization problems and instability of the system. This will lead to a
paradigm shift in the instrumentation and control requirements for Smart Grids for high quality, stable and
reliable electricity supply of power. The monitoring of the grid system state and stability relies on the
availability of reliable measurement of data. In this paper the measurement areas that highlight new
measurement challenges, development of the Smart Meters and the critical parameters of electric energy to be
monitored for improving the reliability of power systems has been discussed.
Study of Macro level Properties of SCC using GGBS and Lime stone powderIJERD Editor
One of the major environmental concerns is the disposal of the waste materials and utilization of
industrial by products. Lime stone quarries will produce millions of tons waste dust powder every year. Having
considerable high degree of fineness in comparision to cement this material may be utilized as a partial
replacement to cement. For this purpose an experiment is conducted to investigate the possibility of using lime
stone powder in the production of SCC with combined use GGBS and how it affects the fresh and mechanical
properties of SCC. First SCC is made by replacing cement with GGBS in percentages like 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and
by taking the optimum mix with GGBS lime stone powder is blended to mix in percentages like 5, 10, 15, 20 as
a partial replacement to cement. Test results shows that the SCC mix with combination of 30% GGBS and 15%
limestone powder gives maximum compressive strength and fresh properties are also in the limits prescribed by
the EFNARC.

An Approach to Detecting Writing Styles Based on Clustering Techniquesambekarshweta25
An Approach to Detecting Writing Styles Based on Clustering Techniques
Authors:
-Devkinandan Jagtap
-Shweta Ambekar
-Harshit Singh
-Nakul Sharma (Assistant Professor)
Institution:
VIIT Pune, India
Abstract:
This paper proposes a system to differentiate between human-generated and AI-generated texts using stylometric analysis. The system analyzes text files and classifies writing styles by employing various clustering algorithms, such as k-means, k-means++, hierarchical, and DBSCAN. The effectiveness of these algorithms is measured using silhouette scores. The system successfully identifies distinct writing styles within documents, demonstrating its potential for plagiarism detection.
Introduction:
Stylometry, the study of linguistic and structural features in texts, is used for tasks like plagiarism detection, genre separation, and author verification. This paper leverages stylometric analysis to identify different writing styles and improve plagiarism detection methods.
Methodology:
The system includes data collection, preprocessing, feature extraction, dimensional reduction, machine learning models for clustering, and performance comparison using silhouette scores. Feature extraction focuses on lexical features, vocabulary richness, and readability scores. The study uses a small dataset of texts from various authors and employs algorithms like k-means, k-means++, hierarchical clustering, and DBSCAN for clustering.
Results:
Experiments show that the system effectively identifies writing styles, with silhouette scores indicating reasonable to strong clustering when k=2. As the number of clusters increases, the silhouette scores decrease, indicating a drop in accuracy. K-means and k-means++ perform similarly, while hierarchical clustering is less optimized.
Conclusion and Future Work:
The system works well for distinguishing writing styles with two clusters but becomes less accurate as the number of clusters increases. Future research could focus on adding more parameters and optimizing the methodology to improve accuracy with higher cluster values. This system can enhance existing plagiarism detection tools, especially in academic settings.
NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGERS...ssuser7dcef0
Power plants release a large amount of water vapor into the
atmosphere through the stack. The flue gas can be a potential
source for obtaining much needed cooling water for a power
plant. If a power plant could recover and reuse a portion of this
moisture, it could reduce its total cooling water intake
requirement. One of the most practical way to recover water
from flue gas is to use a condensing heat exchanger. The power
plant could also recover latent heat due to condensation as well
as sensible heat due to lowering the flue gas exit temperature.
Additionally, harmful acids released from the stack can be
reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation. reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation.
Condensation of vapors in flue gas is a complicated
phenomenon since heat and mass transfer of water vapor and
various acids simultaneously occur in the presence of noncondensable
gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Design of a
condenser depends on the knowledge and understanding of the
heat and mass transfer processes. A computer program for
numerical simulations of water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was
developed using MATLAB. Governing equations based on
mass and energy balances for the system were derived to
predict variables such as flue gas exit temperature, cooling
water outlet temperature, mole fraction and condensation rates
of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The equations were solved
using an iterative solution technique with calculations of heat
and mass transfer coefficients and physical properties.
Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

I. INTRODUCTION
India is at the cusp of a digital revolution. Internet has become an integral part of the growing urban
Indian population. We are billion people country with a mobile penetration of almost 80% and now 40% of
them are on smartphones which means a sizeable population is internet ready. The e-commerce industry is one
of the fastest growing sectors in the country today, spurring first generation entrepreneurs, large scale
manufacturing by SMEs, jobs and most importantly impacting the infrastructure growth of the country. The
rising inflation rate in recent years has not slipped away the performance of online shopping industry in India.
The facility of comparing your product with competitive products on the basis of price, colour, size and quality
is one of the biggest benefits of online shopping. These days Mobile commerce or m-commerce is also one of
the popular means of shopping. India’s one of largest fashion store, Myntra has recently been made ―App only‖,
providing its usage to mobile application only.
The facilities of various coupon and discount scheme are also fascinating the customers in online
shopping. Online shopping is available for customers around the clock comparing to traditional store as it is
open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week is also a reason in increasing growth of e-households in India. Given
customers rarely have a chance to touch and feel product and service online before they make decision, online
sellers normally provide more product information that customers can use when making a purchase. Customers
put the weight on the information that meets their information needs. In addition to get information from its
website, consumers can also benefit from products’ reviews by other customers. They can read those reviews
before they make a decision.
The increase of internet technology in India has colossal potential. It will trim down the cost of product
and service delivery and lengthen geographical boundaries in bringing buyers and sellers together. The boost in
use of internet by the customers in younger age bracket in India has provided a promising outlook for online
retailers. Although the trend of e-Commerce has been making rounds in India for 15 years, the appropriate
ecosystem has now started to fall in place. The e-Commerce market in India has enjoyed phenomenal growth of
almost 50% in the last five years.
Key factors driving the growth story of e-Commerce in India include:
Considerable rise in the number of internet users
Growing acceptability of online payments
Proliferation of internet-enabled devices
Favourable demographics
In India, cash on delivery is the most preferred payment method, accumulating 75% of the e-retail
activities. However, COD may harm e-commerce business in India in the long run and there is a need to make a
shift towards online payment mechanisms to a higher percentile. The following facts can help the academicians
and researchers to understand the size and performance of Indian e-commerce industry.
The ecommerce sector in India has grown by 34% (CAGR) since 2009 to touch 16.4 billion USD in
20142. The sector is expected to be in the range of 22 billion USD in 2015.
2. Online Shopping Behaviour in India

The number of users making online transactions in India is expected to grow from 11 million in 2011 to
38 million in 2015.
The growth rate in metro cities of India is expected to be much higher than the other cities of the country.
Currently, e-Travel comprises 70% of the total ecommerce market. E-Tailing, which comprises of online
retail and online marketplaces, has become the fastest-growing segment in the larger market having
grown at a CAGR of around 56% over 2009-2014.
Companies are using the internet to put across and commune the information. Simultaneously it helps
the companies to give an idea about their products and instantly getting the feedback of customer’s fulfilment to
get stimulated turnover for future. In India the growth of the e-commerce industry is tremendous. The following
table gives a glimpse of the top ten leading e-commerce sites of 2015.

II. OBJECTIVE OF RESEARCH
The primary objective of the current study is to understand the online buying behavior of consumers in
India. It has also made an attempt to get information about the scope of improvement in online shopping
website. It gives a big picture of how India is emerging in the field of e-commerce. The study has drawn
conclusions out of the real data, which will provide useful information to the e-retailers to improve their strategy
towards online shopping in India.
III. ASSUMPTION AND HYPOTHESIS
There are many reasons why people shop online. For example, consumers can buy anything at any time
without going to the store; they can find the same product at a lower price by comparing different websites at
the same time; they sometime want to avoid pressure when having a face-to-face interaction with salespeople;
they can avoid in store traffic jam, etc. As per our assumptions, these factors can be summarized into four
categories—convenience, information, available products and services, and cost and time efficiency.
Convenience: Research shows that convenient of the internet are one of the impacts on consumers’
willingness to buy online. Online shopping is available for customers around the clock comparing to traditional
store as it is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Most of the people shop online because they could shop after-
hours, when the traditional stores are closed and also many of the respondents selected to shop online because
they want to avoid crowds and wailing lines, especially during sale season in India. Some companies have
online customer services available 24 hours. Therefore, even after business hours, customers can ask questions,
get necessary support or assistance, which has provided convenience to consumers.
4. Online Shopping Behaviour in India
74
Information: The internet has made the data accessing easier, be it via browser or mobile application.
Given customers rarely have a chance to touch and feel product and service online before they make decision,
online sellers normally provide more product information that customers can use when making a purchase. It
gives customers more chances to compare price from different websites and find the products with lower prices
than buying from local retailing stores.
Cost and time efficiency: Because online shopping customers are often offered a better deal, they can
get the same product as they buy at store at a lower price. Since online stores offer customers with variety of
products and services. For example, Flipkart and Amazon offers a better deal on electronic goods compared to
the stores. Again, since online shopping can be anywhere and anytime, it make consumers’ life easier because
they do not have to stuck in the traffic, look for parking spot, wait in checkout lines or be in crowd in store. As
such, customers often find shop from the website that is offering convenience can reduce their psychological
costs.
Available products and services: E-commerce has made a transaction easier than it was and online
stores offer consumers benefits by providing more variety of products and services that they can choose from.
Consumers can find all kinds of products which might be available only online from all over the world. Many
retailers sells certain products only available online to reduce their retailing costs or to offer customers with
more choices of sizes, colours, or features. For example, Motorola launched the series of mobile phones which
was available for purchase on Flipkart only, which fetched them tremendous amounts of profit. Moreover,
online shopping sometimes offer good payment plans and options for customers. In India, most of the e-tailers
provide an option of Cash on Delivery (COD) where you can make the payment after receiving the product.
IV. DESIGN
Based on the objective of the present study, a survey was conducted with the help of a structured
questionnaire to collect data about the consumer behavior for online shopping in India. The structured
questionnaire was designed to collect information about demographic profile of the respondents such as age,
gender, occupation. In addition to this, various questions related to the experience of online shopping, the
security, types of products purchased online, factors affecting consumer behavior while online shopping etc.
were asked from the respondents. The data for the study was collected from various metropolitan cities of India.
V. ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION
The following information has broadly analyzed the survey questions. It has not only provided the
information about the online buying behavior of the consumers but has also discussed the scope of improvement
in the website and how mobile shopping is emerging. The findings can be useful for taking strategic marketing
decisions to capture the huge Indian retail market through e-tail stores in place of retail stores.

VI. CONCLUSION OF THE STUDY
The current study is descriptive in nature and it has made an attempt to understand the behavior of
Indian consumers towards online shopping. Although statistical significance of various parameters has not been
examined but the generalized results obtained through data analysis has given clear indication of increasing
significance of online stores in the life of Indian people. The ease and convenience provided by these stores for
24x7 has made very easy shopping for consumers worldwide. The analysis discussed in the above section has
documented that the Indian customers are also getting addicted to the online shopping and they do like various
features of online shopping as by rest of the world. But the statistics available has shown that Indian market is
still not a fully developed market for e-tail stores. There is huge scope of web-stores in various areas and in
almost all the segments. The younger population is the biggest attraction of this industry and they may
contribute substantially to the growth of online shopping in India. The majority of internet users are youngsters,
the majority of goods and services demanded are related to only this segment. Clothing & Travel is one of the
biggest services used by Indian online shoppers. The present study has several implications for business
strategists. Considering the evidences of the present research it can be concluded that
The e-commerce market has a great potential for youth segment. If the all features are considered
carefully then it can be easily identified that maximum number of respondents of online shopping are
lying in age group of 18- 25 years.
The buying behavior of youth can be elaborated through findings obtained through survey. By focusing
on various factors identified in this study, the corporate can make their marketing strategies in better
way. By improving the after sales services, providing more secured payment options, timely delivery of
the goods with better packaging can further boost the demand of various products and services through
web stores.
The market segments like food, electronics and books must be targeted by the marketers on through e-
tail penetration. And the market for other products and services must be expanded through more
awareness among the customers.
As many people (approx. 93 percent of sample) has shown the trust in online shopping and major
percent prefer online payment. Though the Cash on delivery method is still preferred, this can be
eliminated in long run with more security provided during online transactions.
With the introduction like third party payment in India such as Paytm, PayU, Mobiwik., buyers also
prefer paying via them because of the personalized offers provided by them.
The data shows how people are also preferring shopping via mobile application, which doesn’t restrict
to browser. This gives the wider scope to the e-Tailers to focus towards mobile shopping and strategy.
