Top 10 Indian Ecommerce Sites

What’s interesting about the top 10 in the Indian e-commerce sector is the rich representation of Indian-founded brands. While Amazon comes in at the top, there are very few other American brands in these high ranks. It is Indian and Asian brands that dominate in the top 10.

Additionally, the Indian e-commerce scene has a nice mix between pure e-commerce players and brick, and mortar retailers turned e-commerce giants.

While the Indian e-commerce sector is still in early development stages, it is a market rich with opportunity; with so many people comes so much room for major players and small players alike to take a giant chunk out of the Indian e-commerce pie.

So far, it’s electronics that make up the most significant online retail sales category in the country, at 48 percent, but apparel is following not too far behind at 29 percent.

To demonstrate what the e-commerce sector in India looks like, we’ve compiled the top 10 performing e-commerce sites using data from SimilarWeb.

1. Amazon India.

2. Flipkart.

3. Alibaba.

4. Snapdeal.

5. Myntra.

6. IndiaMART.

GLOBAL MAP OF E-COMMERCE COMPANIES WITH $100M+ IN
China places first with 25 e-commerce companies with funding over $100M. Some of the most well-funded companies within China include discount platform giant China Internet Plus (Meituan-Dianping), formed by the merger of Meituan and Dianping, with $3.3B in funding. Another top player in China is electronics micro-lender Qudian, formerly Qufenqi, which has raised more than $960M in funding. Most recently, the company raised $449M in a Series F round from investors such as Kunlun Worldwide and Beijing Phoenix Wealth Holding Group in Q3’16. China is also home to a number of used car platforms, including Uxin Pai, Souche Holdings, and RenRenChe; 8 of the 25 Chinese companies featured on our map are in the used-car space.

The US ranks second in the world for e-commerce companies with $100M+ in funding. The most well-funded companies in the US include online car-vending platform Carvana, and online shopping platform Wish, which have raised $935M and $719M, respectively, far less than some of their Chinese counterparts.

India ranks second within Asia and third in the world, with 10 e-commerce companies with $100M+ in funding. At the top of the Indian market are Flipkart and Snapdeal, with $4.65B and $1.76B in funding, respectively. Most recently, Flipkart received $1.4B from eBay, Tencent Holdings, and Microsoft on 3/20/17. As part of the deal, eBay India came under the control of Flipkart.

Even though several companies have managed to raise $1B plus in funding, e-commerce companies have also experienced downrounds and down exits in their struggle to survive amidst tough competition and operational challenges. Flipkart’s recent financing of $1.4B (mentioned above) was actually a downround in which the startup’s value fell to $11.6B (down from $16B in 2015). Luxembourg-based Global Fashion Group experienced a downround in 2016 in which its value fell from $3.43B to $1.1B. Moreover, Dubai-based Souq.com experienced a down exit in Q1’17 in which the company was acquired by Amazon for several hundred million less than its original $1B valuation. All downrounds can be tracked in the CB Insights Downround Tracker.

In the face of such challenges, consolidation in the form of mergers and acquisitions has become a common theme for e-commerce startups that are able to exit. Although Brazil-based online sporting goods retailer Netshoes recently went public on 4/12/17, there have also been a number of high-profile acquisitions in recent years, including those of Jet.com (bought by Walmart) and Dollar Shave Club (bought by Unilever) in the US, Souq.com in the Middle East (mentioned above), and Lazada in Singapore (controlling stake by Alibaba Group). E-commerce startups that are struggling against larger competitors such as Amazon may hope to be scooped up in similar M&A deals. Most recently, Softbank Group (investor in Snapdeal) has reportedly been pushing for a merger between Snapdeal and Flipkart, in an effort to combine resources and compete against Amazon in India.

Ecommerce

Ecommerce has evolved in many ways since its start, and it’s changing the way we live, shop and do business. Let’s dive into the history and the future of ecommerce.

Types of Ecommerce
Generally, there are six main models of ecommerce that businesses can be categorized into:

B2C.
B2B.
C2C.
C2B.
B2A.
C2A.
Let’s review each type of electronic commerce in a bit more detail.

1. Business-to-Consumer (B2C).

B2C ecommerce encompasses transactions made between a business and a consumer. B2C is one of the most popular sales models in the ecommerce context. For example, when you buy shoes from an online shoe retailer, it’s a business-to-consumer transaction.

2. Business-to-Business (B2B).

Unlike B2C, B2B ecommerce encompasses sales made between businesses, such as a manufacturer and a wholesaler or retailer. B2B is not consumer-facing and happens only between businesses.

Business-to-business sales often focus on raw materials or products that are repackaged before being sold to customers.

3. Consumer-to-Consumer (C2C).

C2C is one of the earliest forms of ecommerce. Customer-to-customer relates to the sale of products or services between customers. This includes C2C selling relationships, such as those seen on eBay or Amazon.

4. Consumer-to-Business (C2B).

C2B reverses the traditional ecommerce model, meaning individual consumers make their products or services available for business buyers.

For example, the iStockPhoto business model in which stock photos are available online for purchase directly from different photographers.

5. Business-to-Administration (B2A).

B2A covers the transactions made between online businesses and administrations. An example would be the products and services related to legal documents, social security, etc.

6. Consumer-to-Administration (C2A).

C2A is similar to B2A, but consumers sell online products or services to an administration. C2A might include online consulting for education, online tax preparation, etc.

B2A and C2A are focused on increased efficiency within the government via the support of information technology.

Well, the most popular search engine is Google, therefore optimization of product pages on your site is a necessity. Most importantly, ensure your site has a search bar for any consumer to search for a specific product they are looking for. Search engine crawlers tend to rank sites higher with a product search option. This also enables your site’s product page to be featured for product searches done on the search engine.
