Gone are the days when near and dear outside India can bring diapers
for their loved ones back home. In the first decade of the millennium, diapers
and other baby products were available in physical retail outlets in tier-1
cities in India extensively. With the advent of e-commerce, baby products is
one domain which has flourished well in online buying, by the end of the
decade.
I can buy any baby products online now - diapers, blankets,
furniture, lighting, utensils, CDs, books, clothes and what not? With more than
20,000 products available from sites like http://firstcry.com
and http://babyoye.com, I do not need to 'search' for required baby
items in my living city anymore. For all those parents with babies, toddlers
and infants, no more half day outings to go shopping for the kids. Everything
can be door delivered, no shipping charges and cash on delivery. Is that not
convenience offered by technology?
