INDUSTRIAL PROFILE
History of E-Commerce
by SPIRECAST TEAM on AUGUST 19, 2009
Shopping on the internet is certainly a popular past time, an efficient time-saver, and
a great way to comparison shop on virtually any kind of item you’re interested in.
The history of e-commerce as most people think of it has a short but interesting time
line. Most people don’t realize that e-commerce and its underlying technology
have been around for about forty years.
We’ve provided a brief history of e-commerce below starting with its conception
and rapid development and finishing with a brief description of e-commerce’s
advantages and its early pioneers.

storesay 2016

The Early Years
The term e-commerce was originally conceived to describe the process of
conducting business transactions electronically using technology from the
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). These
technologies, which first appeared in the late 1970’s, allowed for the exchange of
information and the execution of electronic transactions between businesses,
typically in the form of electronic purchase orders and invoices. EDI and EFT were
the enabling technologies that laid the groundwork for what we now know as
e-commerce. The Boston Computer Exchange, a marketplace for used computer
equipment started in 1982, was one of the first known examples of e-commerce.
Throughout the 1980’s, the proliferation of credit cards, ATM machines and
telephone banking was the next step in the evolution of electronic commerce.
Starting in the early 90’s, e-commerce would also include things such as enterprise
resource planning (ERP), data warehousing and data mining.

storesay 2016

It wasn’t until 1994 that e-commerce (as we know it today) really began to
accelerate with the introduction of security protocols and high speed internet
connections such as DSL, allowing for much faster connection speeds and faster
online transaction capability. Industry “experts” predicted explosive growth in
e-commerce related businesses.
E-Commerce Begins to Emerge
In response to these expert opinions, between 1998 and 2000, a substantial number
of businesses in Western Europe and the United States built out their first
rudimentary e-commerce websites.
The definition of e-commerce began to change in 2000 though, the year of the
dot-com collapse when thousands of internet businesses folded. Despite the epic
collapse, many of the worlds’ most established traditional brick-and-mortar
businesses were emboldened with the promise of e-commerce and the prospect of
serving a global customer base electronically. The very next year, business to
business transactions online became one of the largest forms of e-commerce with
over $700 billion dollars in sales.

storesay 2016

Many of the dot-com collapses “first-mover” failures served their offline
competitors very well, providing evidence of what not to do in building a viable
online business. For example, Webvan, which was one of the more infamous
dot-com failures, trail blazed the path for Albertsons and Safeway, two of the largest
national supermarket chains, who each have developed their own successful online
grocery delivery businesses.
E-Commerce Pioneers
The birth of companies such as eBay and Amazon (launched in 1994) really began to
lead the way in e-commerce. Both eBay and Amazon were among the first to
establish prominent e-commerce brands. The most prominent e-commerce
categories today are computers, books, office supplies, music, and a variety of
electronics.
Amazon.com, Inc., founded by Jeff Bezos, was the original e-commerce pioneer and
certainly the most recognizable. In the beginning, Amazon’s business model
required massive investment in warehousing, delivery and fulfillment capability and
took years for Amazon to gain profitability. But finally in 2003, almost 10 years
after launching the company, Amazon.com realized its first annual profit.

storesay 2016

Amazon began as just an online bookstore but over the years has extended its
offering to a wide variety of product categories, including electronics, software,
music, DVD’s, CD’s, video games, MP3’s, clothing, shoes, health and beauty
products and even household goods. Bezos, was responsible for naming the
company “Amazon” after the world’s largest river and it enjoys a truly global
presence with stand alone websites in six other countries, including the United
Kingdom, Canada, France, Germany, Japan and China. Amazon.com was also the
original pioneer in affiliate marketing, allowing other websites to earn sales
commissions for referring Amazon products to their customers. Today, Amazon
generates anywhere between 30 to 40% of its total sales revenue from affiliates or
third party merchants who list and sell their products on Amazon’s web site.
Today, the Amazon moniker certainly applies as it is one of the most recognized and
most profitable e-commerce businesses on the planet. In 1999, Jeff Bezos was
honored with Time Magazine’s “Person of the Year” award, immortalizing him
forever as probably the single most recognizable figure in the entire e-commerce
community.
Amazon and fellow e-commerce industry giant Dell remain two of the largest
internet retailers in the world, among other offline industry giants such as Staples,
Office Depot, and Hewlett Packard. Dell.com is another one of the most
recognizable e-commerce brands online. Dell.com’s website was launched in 1994
with a single static web page and their online presence quickly grew. In 1997, Dell
announced a single-day sales record of a million dollars on its website. In fact,
roughly half of Dell’s total profits come directly from their website alone. With no
offline retail outlets to speak of, Dell is another e-commerce pioneer that many
businesses have tried to model themselves after by selling products almost
exclusively online.

E-Commerce Advantages
E-commerce businesses have numerous advantages over offline retail locations and
catalog operators. Consumers browsing online stores can easily search to find
exactly what they are looking for while shopping and can easily comparison shop
with just a few clicks of the mouse. Even the smallest online retail sites can sell
products and turn a profit with a very simple online presence. Web tracking
technology allows e-commerce sites to closely track customer preferences and
deliver highly individualized marketing to their entire customer base.
As the popularity of e-commerce businesses continues to grow, the technology will
only continue to improve, making it even easier to open and operate a virtual online
store with or without a brick-and-mortar presence. While e-commerce is still
relatively new found territory, it certainly offers plenty of opportunity for
entrepreneurs of all types.
In fact, sales data shows that from1999 until 2008 e-commerce sales have risen
steadily and now account for nearly 4% of total sales worldwide.

•1. INTRODUCTION
As a symbol of globalization and in many ways its leading feature, e-commerce
represents the cutting edge of success in this digital age. E-commerce stands for
electronic commerce and pertains to trading in goods and services through the
electronic medium, i.e. the Internet or phone. On the Internet, it pertains to a website,
which sells products or services directly from the site using a shopping cart or
shopping basket system and allows credit card payments. It involves conducting
business with the help of the electronic media, making use of the information
technology such as Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). In simple words, Electronic
commerce involves buying and selling of goods and services over the World Wide
Web. Customers can purchase anything right from a car or a cake sitting
comfortably in his room and gift it to someone sitting miles apart just by click of a
mouse.
2. SCOPE OF E-COMMERCE
India is showing tremendous growth in the Ecommerce .Rival tradeindia.com has
700,000 registered buyers and it has the growth rate of 35% every year which is
likely to double in the year 2010. Indiamart.com claims revenues of Rs. 38 crore and
has a growing rate of 50 every year. It receives around 500,000 enquiries per month.
Undoubtedly, with the middle class of 288 million people ,online shopping shows

portals 'share in the online business contributed to 50% of Rs4800 crore online
market in 2007-08. The travel portalMakeMyTrip.com has attained Rs 1000 crores

storesay 2016
13
of turnovers which are around 20% of total e-commerce market in India. Further an
annual growth of 65% has been anticipated annually in the travel portals alone.
3. GROWTH OF E-COMMERCE
During the year 2000-2001, two major Industry Associations produced separate
reports on e-commerce in India. One was prepared by the National Committee on
E-Commerce set up the Confederation of Indian Industry(CII), while the other was
commissioned by the NASSCOM and prepared by the Boston Consulting Group.
Both the reports are optimistic about the growth of e-commerce in India. The
Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) report estimates the volume of e-commerce
to grow to Rs 500 billion (US$ 10.6 billion) in the year2003. The
NASSCOM-BCG Report on the other hand, estimates for the same year that the
total volume of e-commerce will be Rs 1,950 billion (US$ 41.5 billion) . Amu l, a
milk cooperative, is successfully using e-commerce to deepen its brand loyalty.
Likewise, corporate in the automotive sector are improving their customer relations
through this medium. Some of the new names that are rediscovering e-commerce
through new portals at relatively low capital cost, without venture capital funding
include: Key 2 crorepati Music Absolute ,Gate 2 Biz. The low cost of the PC and the
growing use of the Internet has shown the tremendous growth of Ecommerce in
India, in the recent years. According to the Indian Ecommerce Report released by
Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) and IMRB International, “ The
total online transactions in India was Rs. 7080 crores (approx $1.75 billion) in the
year 2006-2007 and expected to grow by 30% to touch 9210 crores (approx $2.15

storesay 2016
14
billion) by the year 2007-2008. According to a McKinsey-Nasscom report the
e-commerce transactions in India are expected to reach $100 billion by the 2008.
Although, as compared to the western countries ,India is still in is its initial stage of
development.
E-Marketer forecasts that online sales will more than double by reaching $168.7
billion in 2011. market share is moving toward Australia, India and especially
China. China’s share of regional B2C e-commerce will grow more than threefold
from 4.1% in 2006 to 14.3% by 2011.At the low end, South Korea’s B2C
e-commerce sales
will grow by 13.3% over the same period. Between 2006and 2011, the aggregate
CAGR for the five countries will be 23.3%.Fig. 1 sales of selected countries in Asia
Pacific Online travel is the largest e-commerce sales category inmost major
countries. For the same group of five countries, plus New Zealand, online leisure
and unmanaged business travel sales totaled about $17.7billion in 2007 and are
forecast to rise to $41.7 billion by2011. E-Marketer forecasts that from 2006 to 2011
online travel sales will grow at a 24.8% annual rate, higher than the 23.3% rate for
B2C e-commerce. This indicates that travel is one of the key drivers of e-commerce
sales in the APAC region .Fig. 2 Graph of sales in selected countries In China and
India, online-travel spending drives B2C e-commerce sales, and it accounts for a
majority of total sales. Consumers are less wary of buying services like train or
airline tickets online, and sellers can avoid the logistics and delivery problems
associated with physical goods. Jeffrey Grau, senior analyst at e Marketer, said that

storesay 2016
15
such preferences underscore how e-commerce in the region has a vast amount of
growth ahead. E-commerce in these markets will have come of age when consumers
start buying more expensive, high-touch categories such as apparel, home
furnishings and jewelry.

environment andhelp prevent credit card frauds, identity theft sand phishing
Bigger web presence of SME’s and Corporate because of lower marketing and
infrastructure costs.
The young population find online transactions much easier
Bottom of Form Barriers to Ecommerce in India
Some of the infrastructural barriers responsible for slow growth of ecommerce in
India are as follows. Some of these even present new business opportunities.
A. Payment Collection:
When get paid by net banking one has to end up giving a significant share of revenue
(4% or more) even with a business of thin margin. This effectively means y parting
away with almost half of profits. Fraudulent charges, charge backs etc. all become
merchant’s responsibility and hence to be accounted for in the business model.

storesay 2016
24
B. Logistics:
You have to deliver the product, safe and secure, in the hands of the right guy in right
time frame. Regular post doesn’t offer an acceptable service level; couriers have
high charges and limited reach. Initially, you might have to take insurance for high
value shipped articles increasing the cost.
C. Vendor Management
: However advanced system maybe, vendor will have to come down and deal in an
inefficient system for inventory management. This will slow down drastically. Most
of them won’t carry any digital data for their products. No nice looking photographs,
no digital data sheet, no mechanism to check for daily prices, availability to keep
your site updated.
D. Taxation:
Octroi , entry tax, VAT and lots of state specific forms which accompany them. This
can be confusing at times with lots of exceptions and special rules. G Limited
Internet access among customers and SMEsF. Poor telecom and infrastructure
for reliable connectivity G. Multiple gaps in the current legal and regulatory
framework H. 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.

9. Future of E-Commerce in India
Today, we are talking about e-commerce progress level of India, the seventh-largest
by geographical area, the second-most populous country, and the most populous
democracy in the world. Indian ecommerce space percentage is getting higher as
more and more online retailers enter the market. Although this level of entry in the
e-commerce market is good
from a long term perspective, the challenge is that most entrepreneurs don’t have the
resources or capital to wait for years before they can get profits.
The past 2 years have seen a rise in the number of companies' embracing
e-commerce technologies and the Internet in India. Most e-commerce sites have
been targeted towards the NRI's with Gift delivery services, books, Audio and
videocassettes e.t.c. Major Indian portal sites have also shifted towards e-commerce
instead of depending on advertising revenue. The web communities built around
these portal sites with content have been effectively targeted to sell everything from
event and movie tickets the grocery and computers .This is not to say that the
e-commerce scenario has been bad in India as highly successful e-business like baba
bazaar and India mart have proved. Indian Banks too have been very successful in
adapting EC and EDI Technologies to provide customers with real time account
status, transfer of funds between current and checking accounts, stop payment
facilities. ICICI Bank, Global TRUST BANK AND UTI-Bank also have put their
electronic banking over the internet facilities in place for the upcoming e-commerce
market speed post also plain to clone the federal express story with online package
status at any moment in time .The future does look very bright for e-commerce in

storesay 2016
26
India with even the stock exchanges coming online providing a online stock
portfolio and status with a fifteen minute delay in prices. The day cannot be far when
with RBI regulations will able to see stock transfer and sale over the Net with
specialized services.
.
10 Conclusion
A developing country can become industrialized and modernized if it can
extensively apply IT to enhance productivity and international competitiveness,
develop e-commerce and e-governance applications. An information-based society
or knowledge based society is composed of IT products, IT applications in society
and economy as a whole. Many countries in Asia are taking advantage of
e-commerce through opening of economies, which is essential for promoting
competition and diffusion of Internet technologies. Large enough to have a critical
mass of 10 to 20 million users to be able to make an impact on e-commerce and
e-governance. In the next 3to 5 years, India will have 30 to 70 million Internet users
which will equal, if not surpass, many of the developed countries. Internet economy
will then become more meaningful in India. With the rapid expansion of internet,
ecommerce, is set to play a very important role in the 21st century, the new
opportunities that will be thrown open, will be accessible to both large corporations
and small companies. The role of government is to provide a legal framework for E
Commerce so that while domestic and international trade are allowed to expand their
horizons, basic rights such as privacy, intellectual property, prevention of fraud,
consumer protection etc are all taken care of.

 MAJOR PLAYERS AND COMPETITION
Delhi’s Zopper, a hyper local mobile marketplace, today announced it bagged
US$20 million from existing investors Tiger Global and Nirvana Ventures
Advisors. The company had received US$6.5 million last year. The injection of
funds will be used to expand to 30 cities across India and upgrade technology
systems.
Zopper allows users to shop from the nearest retail store and get the product
instantly. After choosing a location, the app shows trending items and allows users
to shop by category such as mobile, tablets, laptops, kitchen, and home appliances.
A user can also call the retailers directly from within the app.
At present, it features 500,000 brick-and-mortar stores from Mumbai, Delhi, and
Bangalore, with new cities joining the network soon.
“We aim to fortify our presence in the major cities of India and rope in more
retailers,” says Neeraj Jain, co-founder of Zopper.

Zopper in its earlier form was called Reviews42. It started out as an app for product
reviews and comparison, then pivoted to introduce features to buy instantly from
both online and offline sellers.
Zopper’s pivot was an essential move. In India, several reviews, ratings, and price
comparison sites have failed, including Bear Shop. Other players in the space,
including Helion-backed MySmartPrice, moved from basic price comparison to
product discovery.
PriceBaba is another price comparison search engine for brick-and-mortar stores. It
operates across 11 cities including Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Baroda, and
verifies more than 1,500 stores for comparison.
Zopper now competes with heavily funded ecommerce players like homegrown
Flipkart and Snapdeal, as well as global ecommerce giant amazon. Zopper is already
an app-only service, which may give it a competitive edge. Flipkart is reported to
have plans to shut its website and mobile site to go app only in the near future, while
the Flipkart-owned Myntra has already gone app only recently. Zopper app is
currently available on Android platform and will soon be extended to iOS.

Compare online and offline prices sitting at home
Mar 08 2015
If you are into the habit of visiting three or four nearby stores, comparing prices
online and then making a big purchase decision, things are getting easier for you.
You can now compare the price quotes of your city retailers and online merchants
sitting at home. Some of the price comparison portals and marketplace players are
incorporating the product and price details of nearby retailers as well of e-commerce
sites. This increased integration with the online channel also gives more exposure to
the small retailers in the cities.

Manish Kumar (name changed) has been running an electronics shop in Delhi for 58
years. Like others in his business, he has been seeing a drop in footfall. "People are
getting better prices on the internet," he says. After he listed his business on
zopper.com, his "margins are less but volumes are more", he says. To compete with
online marketplaces that offer huge discounts, he cut margins significantly. "We
have to adapt with the times. For the past two months, my profits have increased to
Rs 60,000," he adds.

Threats in the SWOT analysis of storesay
Low entry barriers of the industry: Low entry barriers affect the current player’s
business as more & more company means tough competition, price wars, shrinking
margins & losses resulting into questioning the sustainability of the players.
Government regulations: Not having clarity on the issues related to FDI in multi
brand retail, has been a big hurdle in the success of the E-commerce players in many
developing nations.
Local competition – India has amazon and Flipkart who are global and local E
commerce retailers and are taking away majority of the market. Similarly, there are
many global and local players who take bites from the market share thereby making
it hard for a small player like storesay to make profits.
