Soumitra Hazra  |  Added idea  "There must be save option in the irctc website to save e ticket"  |  1 year ago
It is necessary to give a save option to save e-ticket. All time it is not possible to take print out.
Ashish Marwal  |  Supported idea  "Performance Issue"  |  2 years ago
Agreed. Many a times the server reports extremely sluggish performance which result in transaction timeouts or "The server too busy" errors. Performance optimization is the first thing they should put on their improvement plans.
Arup Chakraborty  |  Supported idea  "Performance Issue"  |  2 years ago
Someone really needs to checks this performance issue. At times it seems much easy to give a call to the next dorr agent to Book the tickets on your behalf instead of you sitting on the computer to book the ticket.

1 Vertical Selling
2 Unique benefits
Anna George  |  Supported idea  "Vertical Selling"  |  8 months ago
I think Harry is absolutely right. Marketing strategy and Pricing are the two major factors which would differ each online store from other. Quality of service also matters. If the steps to purchase customers favorite items are less and customer...

Dayanand Deshpande  |  Added idea  "Out of stock products"  |  2 years ago
It has occur many times for me like, after adding a product to the cart it will show that the product is out of stock. I believe this is too irritating to the customers, after going through all the process and later it says 'out of stock'. If the...
Mahalakshmi Subramanium  |  Added idea  "Promotional Ads"  |  2 years ago
The main reason for me not buying online is that there are a lot of promotions and products on the e-commerce sites, which will lead the customers to unwanted and un-related sites, when we accidentlly click on them. More than the needed...

Rajendra  |  Supported idea  "ebay.com"  |  2 years ago
ebay is more of a bid and buy site where you can get good deals indeed. I havent experienced buying there but guess it is gonna be a good 01. Moreover it is internationally owned known, definitely one might enjoy shopping experience here. 
Rajendra  |  Supported idea  "Shopping.rediff.com: "  |  2 years ago
Agreed on all the above features but according to me a better E-Commerce site must also have a strong call centre back-up for handling the queries/complains/suggestions etc which cannot b done to some extend in the Internet, talking is very...

If we analyse the nature of students' demand, what they want as customers are: Expert Teaching Quality Learning Resources Well-structured Courses Either Marketable Skills or a Strong Brand or even both Flexibility Fair Assessment The concept that that all learning can be made fun and easy is flawed. Although it should be interesting, the task is to teach skills. It is difficult to get away with poor quality teaching any longer. However, in the area of assessment, there is insufficient objectivity and discipline at present. There is a strong case that all assessment should be anonymous and conducted at arm’s length. WINNERS AND LOSERS There are however a number of areas of new demand which fundamentally represent good news for those in the education sector who can ride the wave in a clever way: the knowledge worker; business advice; the law; health; "edutainment"; financial planning. Not everyone can win. Among the winners   in these changing conditions are likely to be: those who...
