Answer 1

Answer: E-commerce had been steadily gaining momentum — the world over and also in India much before COVID19 happened. By and large the onset of the pandemic and the ensuing lockdown has thrown the progression of online purchasing off balance because of restrictions on eligible items to essentials and due to the limitations placed on physical movement directly impacting deliveries. Nevertheless, experiences of life during the lockdown may result in nudging attitudes towards opting for e-commerce once things are back to normal. Prior to the pandemic, attitudes towards shopping online had broadly clear distinctions between those for whom it was a matter of convenience whether it be groceries and staples or recreational items; and those for whom it was imperative to shop from physical markets and brick and mortar stores because they are a more active process. The pandemic has created a shift in the way consumers behave and carry out their activities, directly affecting the e-commerce industry. The situation that only essentials and especially medical supplies are being made available and also people are not inclined to spend money beyond their necessities, offers both challenges as well as opportunities. Based on a market research before the Covid outbreak, it was predicted that the growth in the e-commerce market in India would reach 200 billion US dollars by the year 2026. Post the outbreak, recent trends suggest that the goal of 200 Billion U.S. Dollars may be reached a lot sooner than originally predicted spurred by a jump in consumers opting for online deliveries amid fears of possible infection if they step out of their homes. The e-commerce sector is being impacted on the supply as well as the demand side and while some companies are able to adapt and respond to the changes, others are not able to because of the nature of limitations that have been imposed.
