Throughout the day I was feeling kind of uneasy, afterall I was coming from a long weekend staying at home. Coldplay has turned out to be a saving grace for my bipolar moodswings. I am still struggling to finish with steve jobs , after a point it gets all saturated and same so I am intentionally trying to put a break. Today I was thinking about emergence of Ecommerce in India and its subsequent future. BTW I was quite surprised to realise that the biggest ecomm website in india is not the much hyped flipkart, but Tata steel promoted mcommerce which is more of a b2b ecomm and it has done flabbergasting amout of online trade since its 6(iam not sure) yrs of inception.
After the technologies for developing an ecomm website went more or less opensource ( eg magento ) , everybody seems to be working on one. But the point which is often neglected is that ecomm not is about fancy interface and you over exaagerated product portfolio, but rather a highly efficient logistics and supply chain management of products. your stock inventory managment, warehousing , invoicing and what not. Pluggd.in recently featured few startups which are working to fill this very imp needgap, becz like it or not ecomm is gonna boom in the near time. these startups help provide the required scale-as-you-go infrastucture and managemnt dashboards to ecomm. websites.
i am really keen on understanding the whole process of making an efficient ecomm from scratch , which i soon plan to integrate with my web media platform. So it will be kind of a contextual ecomm which is integrated closely with your passive content consuption.
The future
i personally think that the future of ecomm is not shopping from your deski or lappy, but through tactile and mobile expericne. imagine you are in a shop where you can touch , feel and choose your favourite product and buy it just by checking it in your mobile app. and bang it will be deleivered to your doorstep. the various points of friction shall be removed and a seamless shopping exp will emerge which will completly topple over the convetional retail
