e-commerce has turned out to be a real game-changer for Indian consumers and now consumers in Tier-II, Tier-III cities [some cases villages] also log online to Shop and compare prices. One arm that is really contributing to the e-commerce wave is India Post that delivers parcels from e-commerce majors to every nook & corner of villages.
Growing penetration of 3G and advent of 4G [particularly Reliance Jio] is just adding an icing to the cake. However whenever consumers shop online, they make it a point to check for similar products on other trusted e-commerce platforms and if there is any cash-back/discount with the product, chances of puchase with that platform are much higher.
Coupon & Deal websites are the major players that offer discounts on top of the discount offered by the e-commerce stores. ‘Price Comparison’ and ‘Deals’ are two seperate entities & and an amalgamation of both is definitely a boon for Customers !!
