eCommerce Next Steps…

Agenda • eCommerce portals – different types

• Pre-Requisites

• The ground work

• Technical knowledge

• Business Benefits

• What do we have to offer?

Broadly four types

The different types

B2C B2B Online Bidding sites App Stores

Even under the B2C sites there are further classifications

Market Places (Amazon, Alibaba, eBay, etc.)

Multi Brand Stores (Flipkart, HomeShop18, Yebhi, etc.)

Actually it is not

Just another store
