THIS CONCEPY WOULDNT WORK AS IT REQUIRE COMPANY READY TO BEAR HEAVY LOSSES IF FRADULENT PRACTICES HAD BEEN HAPPENDED IN CREDIT CARDS.

perhaps it might just work in india. for most of the people of india are middle class and really dont buy expensive stuff. but for 0% installments they will really do. but linkin only with icici bank will limit its benefits

I dont think people will go for EMI for apparel ,during recession time buying jeans will not be in there priority list...i am sure they would not mind delaying  the buy till the time they have enough money to indulge in luxury buying.

  The Indian retail sector is ready to take on challenges from global retail players such as Wal-mart and Carrefour because unlike them, they have a better understanding of the Indian consumer’s psyche. Ultimately, a successful retailer is one who understands his customer. The Indian customer is looking for an emotional connection, a sense of belonging. Hence, to be successful any retail outlet has to be localised. The customer should feel that it is a part of his culture, his perceived values, and does not try to impose alien values or concepts on him. Indian customer is not keen to buy something just because it is sold by an international company. Ultimately, it boils down to how much loc...

Namrata I agree with you completely. For everything we need infrastructure. Once broadband infrastructure in place I think the e-retailing will see the light of the day and will gather momentum within no time.
