In addition to the large corporations, many small companies are also effectively using the Net, especially those involved in distribution of books, news, information services, and food products. There are magazines also for reporting and advertising on the Internet. However, in India, it is online shopping but with a difference.

If shirt is what you want to buy, the address to be watched out is http://www.cdshirts.com. The site, owned by one of the largest retailers of shirts in India, provides for the purchase of the various models being marketed. All that a person has to do is to choose, click, and order.
However, now starts the tricky part of the whole deal-the payment problem. Here the showroom has adopted the traditional VPP mode of payment. The site, designed by Rediff-on-the-Net, is a pilot project. “As and when circumstances allow, we would like to include electronic payment also,” says Ajit Balakrishnan, MD, Rediff-on-the-Net.
And if it’s pizzas or burgers that you wish to bite into, click on to http://www.indiamart.com. The site is a 3D gallery of the virtual market. The participating shops include the Delhiites favorite eat-out Nirula’s. The site has been developed using contemporary standards of VRML.
