One of the most significant ways in which we have harnessed this magical thing called internet is by using it for trade. A number of entrepreneurs have set up online enterprises such as social networking websites, applications, SEOs and shopping web portals. As far as shopping online is concerned, it can be considered as no less than a blessing for today’s urban working professionals who are pressed for time and are always racing against the clock. You cannot expect these people who are working on tough deadlines to remove time for anything else other than work and spending time with loved ones, much less a mundane thing like shopping.

Add to this equation the lack of proper parking space and availability of public transport and you have the perfect condition to not shop. India can especially benefit greatly with online shopping considering that traditional shopping has a lot of such disadvantages attached to it.

Another point in favour of online shopping is that you can shop at literally any time of the day, be it 3pm or 3am. Brick and cement shops have particular time limit w\and hours of operation and the customer has to match their time to it. So it gets inconvenient for people who don’t have any time to spare during the day and are only free at night. Isn’t it better to cuddle in your sofa along with your partner and browse comfortably through online web portals for products than to go shopping in the above mentioned conditions?
