Driven by growing adoption of smartphones and increasing Internet

penetration, the e-commerce sector in India is projected to cross

$80 billion by 2020, and grow further to $300 billion by 2030,

The report, however, pointed out patchy Internet connectivity due to

underdeveloped infrastructure, a general lack awareness about the

benefits that e-commerce offers and a lack of trust among
