INTRODUCTION.

4. 1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Innovation has become the key rationale behind any
business success today. Baby care market is still
untouched and niche. Firstcry.com has bridged the
demand and supply gap in baby care market, through
shifting scurry brick and mortar stores to click and
purchase model, which is conceptualised as an
innovative business strategy. Primarily due to the
exponential growth of E-commerce in India, the
company has made the balance between online and
offline stores to attract more customers.

5. Integration and synergy between click and brick model
cover overall market: Tier I by click model and Tier II/
Tier III by franchisee brick stores. Establishing the
common pricing system for both click and brick model
makes this more acceptable to customers towards both
spaces. This study is intended to conduct a case study
on Firstcry.com. The study provides a detailed view of
company’s foundation concept, integration of click and
brick, innovative pricing and franchisee model and
market coverage strategy. Primary and Secondary data
sources are used to get in-depth knowledge of the case.
The results show that The Increase in per capita income
has made towns a desirable market. Captioning of all
types of cities has given Firstcry.com a wide recognition
and revenue growth.
While studying at IIM Ahmedabad as a skilled
entrepreneur, he discovered that the products available
on the Indian market did not meet his newborn baby's
demands. As a result, he bought most of his childcare
items on business trips
abroad. He left Brain visa in 2009 and began a new firm.
Maheshwari started an informative site for expectant
parents and new moms. In 2010, she teamed up with
Amitava Saha to create a ground-breaking website that
allows parents and expecting couples to give their
children the best possible start in life from the comfort
of their homes.

6. They are a young and vibrant company with a
passionate team about their work and committed to
First cry’s cause. They have some of the brightest minds
in the industry working with us and are proud of the
culture that we have built.
They are currently present in India, Malaysia, UAE, and
Saudi Arabia. They are rapidly expanding our footprint
to other countries, as their goal is to be present in every
country where there are new parents.
1.2 NEED/ SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY.
 To get suggestions from public for improvement.
 To achieve overall satisfaction of the customer.

7. 1.3 LITERATURE REVIEW
♦ Rushant Singh (2014), in his study on Consumer ‘s
Buying Behaviour Towards Online Shopping, the
main aim of study was to examine and analyse the
consumer ‘s buying behaviour pattern towards
online shopping in Lucknow. The research is based
on both primary data and secondary data. The total
sample sizes of 40 were collected through a
questionnaire by using a convenient sampling
method, the outcome of the study is the greatest
number of users are happy with online shopping
and mainly interested in buying online apparel.
♦ Chirag Parmar, (2015), The main objective of the
research is to study, especially the major option for
payments in online shopping. There are several
Payment options in online purchasing such as
credit card, debit card, cash on delivery or
EMI option, gift voucher or wallet.
To this end, a survey was conducted, and the 120
questionnaires were distributed among the people
of different markets and the public in Bikaner. The
replies have been analysed by table analysis. The
results of the study reveal that on-

8. line shoppers in India are significantly affected by
various payment options, which are described
above.
♦ Mohammad Toufiq Rahman (2015)indicated that
online shoppers are variety lovers, but at the same
time, they are also cautious about the price and
time that they spent shopping. Online shopping
saves time comparing to a traditional
retail store. Maximum respondent relies on price
and their own experience as the basis of the
quality judgment of items in online shopping. So
far as payment options are concerned, online
shopping offers different payment options like cash
on delivery or payment through internet banking
or payment by debit card or credit card etc. But
most of the buyers preferred cash on delivery
facility.

payment modes, better infrastructure and supply
chain management.
♦ Nanehkaran, Y.A. (2013) stated that electronic
commerce is a powerful process that has
fundamentally changed the current human life. It
is one of the main criteria of revolution of

this of Research is to describe the data and
characteristics about what is being studied. The idea
behind this type of research is to study frequencies,
averages, and uses surveys and panel.

12. SOURCE OF DATA COLLECTION:
The sources of information are generally divided into
documentary and file sources. For collection of data in
this study, both documentary and field source were
made use of. The sources of information essentially
primarily, where the questionnaire was administered to
the respondents and discussion with the other
department personnel. The secondary source of
information consisted of relevant documents,
publications and reports pertaining to the company.
Primary Data:

direct connection with the respondents is called
primary data. This data was collected using
questionnaire. A questionnaire is a reformulated
written set of questions to which respondents record
their answers. The mode of my data collection is
primary data and in the form of questionnaire.

13. Secondary data:
Those data which are collected in the mode of
magazine, journals and websites are called secondary

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

16. 2.1 DEFINITION OF E-COMMERCE
The term Electronic Commerce or E-commerce is
defined as any sort of business transaction that
involves the transfer of information through the
internet. It means using the Internet and the web for
business transactions and/or commercial transactions,
which typically involve the exchange of value (e.g.,
money) across organisational or individual boundaries
in return for products and services. Thus, it covers a
variety of business activities which use internet as
platform for either information exchange or monetary
transaction or both at times.
The
World Trade Organisation defines E-commerce as, "E-
commerce is the production, distribution, marketing,
sales or delivery of goods and services by electronic
means." According to The Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and Development (OECD) E-commerce
means "commercial transactions, involving both
organisations and individuals, that are based upon the
processing and transmission of digitised data, including
text, sound and visuals images and that are carried out
over open networks (like, the internet)
or closed networks (like, AOL or Mintel) that have
gateway onto an open network."

17. EXAMPLES OF E-COMMERCE:
 Retail: The sale of products directly to
consumers (without any intermediary) via
AMAZON, FLIPKART, SNAPDEAL etc.
 Dropshipping: The sale of products that are
manufactured and shipped to consumers
through a third party via WAYFAIR etc.
 Digital products: Downloadable items like
templates, courses, e-books, software, or
media that must be purchased for use. Kendle,
wordpress.org, filehippo.com etc.
Wholesale: Products sold in bulk. Wholesale
products are usually sold to a retailer, who
then sells the products to consumers via
INDIAMART etc.
Services: These are skills like coaching,
writing, influencer marketing, etc., that are
purchased and paid for online i.e. brainly.in,
vedantu.com, unacademy.com etc.
2.2 FEATURES OF E-COMMERCE

18. E-commerce is a business model or a larger business
model that allows companies or individuals through
the electronic network. E-Commerce has certain key
features which are
explained as follows: -
Technology-Enabled: Traditional commerce is
taking place since times immemorial, but
E-commerce is result of integration of digital
technology with business processes and
commercial transactions. The technological
foundations of E-commerce are internet,
WWW and various protocols
Technology Mediated: In E-commerce buyers and
sellers meet in cyber space rather than physical
place. Hence E-commerce does not involve face to
face contact.
Universality: Buying and selling take place through
websites in E-Commerce. The websites can be
accessed from anywhere around the globe at any
time therefore it possesses the feature of
universality.
Intercommunication: E-commerce technology
ensures two-way communications between buyer
and seller. On one hand by using E-commerce firms

19. can communicate with customers through E-
commerce enabled websites. On the other end,
customers can also fill order forms, feedback forms
and can communicate with business operating
firms.
Delivery Of Information: E-commerce serves as
the best channel of communication. E-commerce
technologies ensure speedy delivery of
information at very low cost and considerably
increase information density as well.
Electronic Completion of Business Processes:
By using E- commerce we can perform business
transactions like accounting and inventory through
computers at global level.
 Inter-Disciplinary in Nature: Implementation of E-
Commerce needs a lot of knowledge of
managerial, technological, social and legal issues.
Besides this, understanding of consumer
behaviour, marketing tools and financial aspects is
as crucial as designing interactive E- Commerce
websites.
2.3 MODELS OF E-COMMERCE

20. E-Commerce or Electronics Commerce business models
can generally be categorised in the following
categories: -
1. Business - to - Business (B2B): Website
following B2B business model sells its product to an
intermediate buyer who then
sells the product to the final customer. For
Sells example, a wholesaler places an order from a
company's website and after receiving the
Customer consignment sells the product to final
customer who comes to buy the product at
wholesaler's retail outlet. Example- Alibaba,
India Mart, Trade India etc.
2. Business - to - Consumer(B2C): Website following
B2C business model sells its product directly to a
customer. A customer can view products shown on the
website of business organisation. The customer can
choose a product and order the same.
Website will send a notification to the
Customer business organisation via email and
organisation will dispatch the product/goods
to the customer. Example- Amazon, Snapdeal, Flipkart
etc.
3. Consumer - to - Consumer (C2C): Website following
C2C business model helps consumer to sell their assets
like residential property, cars, motorcycles etc. or rent a

21. room by publishing their information on the website.
Website may or may not charge the consumer for its
services. Another consumer may opt to buy the
product of the first customer by viewing the
post/advertisement
on the website. Example- OLX, Kaftly etc.
4. Consumer - to - Business (C2B): In this model, a
consumer approaches website showing multiple
business organisations for a particular service.
Consumer places an estimate of amount he wants to
spend for a particular service. For example, comparison
of interest rates of personal loan/car loan
provided by various banks via website. Business
organisation, who fulfils the consumer's requirement
within specified budget approaches the customer and
provides its services.
Example- Monster.com, TimesJobs.com etc.
5. Business - to - Government (B2G): B2G model is a
variant of B2B model. Such websites are used by
government to trade and exchange information with
various business organisations.
For example: Senseware, Mark43.
6. Government - to - Business (G2B): Government uses
B2G model website to approach business

22. organisations. Such websites support auctions, tenders
and application submission functionalities.
7. Government - to - Citizen (G2C): Government uses
G2C model website to approach citizen in general. Such
websites support auctions of vehicles, machinery or
any other material. Such website also provides services
like registration for birth, marriage or death
certificates. Main objectives of G2C website are to
reduce average time for fulfilling people requests for
various government services.

23. 2.4 ADVANTAGES OF E-COMMERCE
There is no doubt that E-commerce has digitally
enabled commercial transactions among organisations
and individuals. It provides the following main
advantages to the society:
Convenience: Customers can order products or
services 24 hours a day wherever they
are.
Information: Customers can find reams of
comparative information about companies,
products, competitors and prices without leaving
their office or home.
Fewer Hassle: Customers don't have to face
salespeople or open themselves up to persuasion
and emotional factors, they also don't have to wait
in line.
Quick Adjustment to Market Conditions by
Marketers: Companies can quickly add products to
their offering and change prices and descriptions.

24. Lower Cost: Online Marketers avoid the expense of
maintaining a store and the costs of rent,
insurance and utilities. They can produce digital
catalogues for much less cost than the cost of
printing and mailing paper catalogues.
Audience Sizing: Online Marketers can learn how
many people visited their web site and how many
of them shopped at particular places on the site.
This information can help them improve offers and
advertisements.
Online Marketing: It is easy affordable by small
firms, who otherwise would not have been able to
advertise in the print or broad cost media.
Large and Medium: These companies have
designed their own websites to automate
corporate purchasing. The high cost on invoices
and purchase order copies including time are
saved a great deal due to E-commerce and Internet
phase.
No reach limitations: A seller with a physical store
may only be able to reach a certain number of
buyers. Whereas, through E-commerce sellers can

25. deliver to the customers' homes but there can be
distance limitations. Several e-commerce
marketplaces have their own logistics and delivery
system.
Product and price comparison: In E-commerce,
sellers can compare the products using tools or on
their own. This gives them a good idea of product
alternatives available, the standard rates, if a
product need is unfulfilled

26. 2.5 DISADVANTAGES OF E-COMMERCE
Though e-commerce offers many advantages to
customers, business, society and nation, there are still
some areas of concern that need to be addressed. The
following are some
of the limitations or disadvantages of e-commerce:
Security: The biggest drawback of E-commerce is
the issue of security. People fear to provide
personal and financial information, even though
several improvements have been made in relation
to data encryption. Certain websites do not have
capabilities to conduct authentic transactions. Fear
of providing credit card information and risk of
identity limit the growth of E-commerce
Lack of privacy: Many websites do not have high
encryption for secure online transaction or to
protect online identity. Some websites illegally
collect statistics on consumers without their
permission. Lack of privacy discourages people to
use internet for conducting commercial
transactions.
Fear: People fear to operate in a paperless and
faceless electronic world. This aspect makes
people to opt physical stores for purchases.

27.  Product suitability: People have to rely on
electronic images to purchase products.
Sometimes, when the products are delivered, the
product may not match with electronic images.
Finally, it may not suit the needs of the buyers. The
lack of "touch and feel' prevent people from online
shopping.
Legal issues: The cyber laws that govern the e-
commerce transactions are not very clear and vary
from country to country. These legal issues prevent
people from entering into electronic contracts.
Huge technological cost: It is difficult to merge
electronic business with traditional business.
Technological infrastructure may be expensive and
huge cost has to be incurred to keep pace with
ever changing technology. It is necessary to
allocate more funds for technological
advancement to remain competitive in the
electronic world.

40. Findings on online shopping:
Among the top findings of the survey, as put forth by
Online Shopping, are the following:
Convenience was listed as the top reason for
shopping online by 74% of the respondents, and at
the same level were purchase goods in online. This
is good news for e-tailers, as the value proposition
for online shopping is clear in the minds of
shoppers.
27% of our respondents said they aren’t purchase
of their goods online. We believe this bodes well
for e-tailers as online shopping is gaining
acceptance.
95% of respondents look for products information
and service information before purchasing.
Conclusion on online shopping:
After having detail study on Online Shopping one
can see a great change in the behaviour of people
in many manners like their attitude, buying
pattern. In earlier times people use to do manual
shopping but now as time changed people are
becoming busy and due to which technology has
brought a new revolution i.e. Online Shopping.

41. As we started doing survey it came to in notice
that young age group people i.e. 15-30 uses or
prefer online shopping because it is time and
energy saving. But middle-age group does not
prefer much because they have wrong perception
that by seeing the product one can get the goods
of proper quality. And even some people do not
prefer using plastic money i.e. credit cards.
In 95% of the purchases, the terms and conditions
were available before entering into a purchase
process, but the legal requirement to inform about
the cooling-off period was only met in 82% of the
purchases. This means that in 18% of the
purchases, the Mystery Shopper was not informed
about the legal right to withdraw from the
contract. This is a rather disturbing result.
However, it was worse to discover that the
websites contained information about the legal
warranty and the rights connected to it in only 37%
of the purchases. Furthermore, the information
given about these rights was only correct in 80% of
the cases.

42. Findings on shopping mall:
45% of respondents look for not to waste of their
time.
Reason for shopping mall by 44% of the
respondents, and at the same level was purchase
goods in online. This is good news for e-tailers, as
the value proposition for online shopping is clear
in the minds of shoppers.
56% of our respondents said they were purchase
of their goods in shopping malls. We believe this
bodes well for as shopping is gaining acceptance.
55% of respondents look for product checking and
service information before purchasing.
Conclusion on shopping mall:
The share of modern retail market in India was
around 5% in 2008 is very low compared to
countries in the west, where the share of modern,
retail to the total retail is 75-80 percent. Therefore,

43. there is tremendous potential for the modern
retail formats like malls to grow in India.
 Mall boom in India started in 2003 and continues
to thrive after a setback in 2008-09 because of
recession. There are malls which are doing well
including those established in the formative years
like Ansal Plaza, Delhi. However, malls which
jumped into the fray without any planning and
strategy are having troubles with low footfalls and
low retailer occupancy. This research was
conducted with the intention to help developers in
a capital-intensive sector to avoid the mistakes of
the past and benefit from being a part of the
booming retail sector.
One of the important conclusions is that there is a
lack of clarity amongst mall developers regarding
positioning and image. As shown in the table 8, the
focus is on image which is a combination of
functional and psychological attributes of the mall
[117]. However apart from focussing on the above,
there is no effort to develop a positioning strategy
which is critical for the success of a mall. Without a
positioning strategy, all the malls are like each
other. Hence, it can be reasoned that, such lack
of differentiation is the reason behind increasing
retailer vacancy levels.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION.

45. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
The project report titled- "A Study on E-commerce, first
cry” has helped to gather useful insights and
information on the key features of E-commerce. After
going through the primary data and collected
information it is found that: -
Although there is not much difference in gender of
the respondents, but majority of the respondents
were female, who came up with their responses
and opinion on this topic.
 Among 50 respondents, most of the respondents
came from the age range of 21-30 years, who are
mainly involved in this project work for concluding
their responses on E-commerce.
Making people aware of E-commerce is the most
vital thing where social media and advertisements
are the best mode in spreading awareness as now-
a-days many people relies on these mediums.

46. The main reason to prefer E-commerce, instead of
traditional, by many of the respondents is that it is
the convenient to them in their busy lives.
Almost every respondent, who is availing the
facilities of E-commerce, is completely or partially
satisfied with it and have an amazing experience
with the websites.
Many payment method options are given by the E-
commerce websites but payment on delivery and
payment through debit cards are the most selected
options by the respondents.
There may be many reasons for the non-
accessibility of E-commerce but according to the
most of respondent lack of physical existence of
stores and lack of awareness about E-commerce is
the main reason of not accessing the facilities of E-
commerce.
Lastly, for the betterment and expansion of E-
commerce, the respondents claim that the delivery
in the rural areas should be increased including the
refund policies, internet security services and
other services should be modified.
