A standout amongst the most broadly trusted realities about the Indian e-business story is that Flipkart.com's 2010 choice to begin offering "Money down" (COD)— an installment alternative that permits purchasers to pay for products at the season of receipt—catalyzed the whole area and set the stage for incredible development rates from there on.
"There is a gigantic measure of buildup that COD, as characterized by Flipkart, has reclassified e-business in India. It is total drivel," says K Vaitheeswaran, originator and CEO of Indiaplaza.
Dispatch organizations who conveyed his requests kept COD cash for two-four weeks, putting considerable weight on the juvenile startup's money streams.
More awful, a considerable lot of Vaitheeswaran's clients let him know they discovered COD more bulky than prepaid requests (by means of credit or charge card) in light of the fact that somebody must be physically present at the season of conveyance with money.
"It is my major conviction that individuals shop online for three reasons: Selection, estimating and accommodation, nothing else. COD essentially thumps the last one out of the recreation center," says Vaitheeswaran.
PREPAID TO POSTPAID
The Indian versatile development story was to an expansive degree fueled by the ascent of the prepaid SIM card, which gave clients more noteworthy control over their month to month bills while putting their cash in the hands of portable administrators forthright.
Taking a sign from versatile administrators, Indian Direct to Home (DTH) administrators persuaded their clients to pay for their month to month TV ahead of time rather than toward the end of a month, as they'd finished with neighborhood link administrators.
Yet, through COD, e-business organizations are doing precisely the inverse, in this manner misusing a gigantic income advantage.
Mukesh Bansal, the author and CEO of Myntra.com, lived in the US for almost 10 years prior to moving back to India to begin his business. "I shopped with Amazon.com for quite a long time, utilizing my Visa. In any case, throughout the previous couple of years I've been requesting through COD just. I believe it's India's likeness [Amazon's] a single tick pay," he says.
Obviously, Myntra offers its clients COD, as for all intents and purposes each e-trade organization in India. COD now represents 50-60 percent of requests for most organizations.
"Individuals have gotten so used to COD from other e-trade locales that it has turned into a desire," says Gaurav Kushwaha, the author and CEO of online gems merchant Bluestone.com.
Indian e-trade firms credit COD for empowering a great many Indians to execute web utilizing money on the grounds that there essentially isn't sufficient plastic around. There are 100 million web clients in India, however just around 18 million Mastercards.
Be that as it may, as indicated by the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI), of those 100 million web clients, just around 10 million are dynamic online customers. Furthermore, the RBI lets us know there are 240 million charge card clients in India.
