PREFACE
O
ur overall experience of preparing this report was a knowledgeable journey. We learn a lot about the functions of e-commerce. Apart from this, by actually conducting this report, We also learnt practical
application of what We have been studying in overall M.B.A. For completing this project We required the e-commerce business plan for completing our project, we have visited several relevant websites to benchmark at this time in the industry in order to estimate the industrial profile, business processes and SWOT analysis. We got our required data from websites of online business. While conducting this report We faced some problems in getting the data as at websites data is not managed very well. The knowledge of what We have studied in MBA also came in handy. Once every thing was found out it got very interesting.
