Great news.. Amazon entered into Indian Online shopping markets with Junglee.com Whats so great.. There are hundreds of online shopping websites in India. whats so special about Amazon.
First thing which Indian online shopping sites lacks is the consumer Trust. With only exception to this is “Flipkart“, Thats why its very successfully in shot span of time. Rediff or Indiatimes sites which does provide online shopping. But they only sale through vendors. Once the product sold no one is responsible for that. Most of the time products on display are different from what is dispatched to consumer. So you left with nothing but lost money. I am personal victim of Rediff.com.
Amozon who revolutionize the online shopping experience worldwide. Saves you from visiting multiple stores to check the prices, offer’s. Amzon’s Price is guaranteed to be lowest than any other Physical store for that matter online stores as well. Recently I visited USA and was looking for a Sony handicam. it was priced around 40K INR in India. While it was priced in almost all physical electronic stores around $550 + 10% tax. While Amazon was selling it for $447 without any taxes.
Another significant thing is even though we have huge electronic store’ in India, you will get item’s which are selling in huge quantity or major items but not the accessories. Recently I was looking out for FireWire PCI card, I visited almost every electronic store in Pune and didnt found it. So the major item’s are generally sold by big stores but for accessories you need order from some vendors.
For Indian consumer’s it will be a great experience to get most of the item’s at the door with trust and at lowest prices. Just for an example. I have searched price for a popular book on “Flipkart” which was around INR 205 while on Junglee.com its INR 190.
