Q1. CASE STUDY:

Due to number of factors, e-business in our nation has grown significantly over
time. There is significant improvement in the Information Technology infrastructure
over the last decade, as the Government has taken important steps in high-speed
Internet connectivity. As a result, the broadband networks have not only become
better but also more affordable.
Additionally, Government is trying to make rural India connected through
broadband – a great possibility for e-business to expand the retail market by
reaching out to the most remote rural customer. Another catalyst strengthening the
e-business segment is the country’s favourable demography. It has more than 50%
of its population below the age of 25 and more than 65% below the age of 35. It is
expected that, in the year 2025, the average age of an Indian will be 29 years,
 compared to 37 for China and 48 for Japan, this promises for phenomenal increase
in e-business. Moreover, the penetration of the Smartphone in a large section of the
population has aptly addressed the problem of compute illiteracy. Notwithstanding
the fact that consumers also prefer e-business due to multiple factors like
convenience, time etc.
