Abstract:
E-Commerce is contributing in performing the tasks beyond national boundaries and time zones. While it is gaining
momentum in developed countries, developing countries are trying to catch up with them. The question is with limited
resources can the developing countries meet the challenge? This paper discusses the phenomenal growth in the Indian
continent and a shift in perceptions and attitudes of the people in moving towards an electronic society.
Internet usage and the participation in eCommerce by Indians are growing from strength to strength. India has
experienced an explosion in Internet access. A new e-society is emerging at this part of the continent using the Internet
with increasing regularity and for a much greater variety of purposes. Businesses are now engaging in new technology to
do business in a more successful way. They face constant pressure to speed up operations and perform efficient and
effective services. A comparison of the Internet growth in India is shown against Australia.
