Whats good and bad about this webworld in india?

I was browsing around and found that now we have enough options available with us. Just a click and can book ticket, buy groceries, book cabs, book hotels etc. have you ever tried typing search string "Travel in India". You will wonder there thousands of sites who claim to offer you best itinery at the cheapest rates.

I tried booking it once and to my surprise its still a way too long. In india you can get better price if you go directly and do the bookings. I would say the exception to this is Online air ticketing where many players like Yatra, makemytrip, ezeego have made there entry. But they are only good if we restrict ourself to Air ticketing the moment you try to book a hotel or a cab. You will see all sort of differences. You can say its the mentality that india runs on. If you are booking it online that means you are a very rich guy and you can be easily fooled. another thing that they usually forget is that there is always a next time.

Similarly if you are buying anything online say a mobile handset. I think the best bargain is still available at shop. You will end up paying 200-1000 rupees extra on the cost that you can get at your nearest dealer. But then you should be able to bargain.

In my coming blogs I will be reviewing these online shopping experience one by one based on the categories. Will be guiding you where to shop and whats the best over the internet. So keep your eyes open and if you want can subscribe to my blogs.

I would also request you to visit our website aaobazaar.com (Simplify your shopping experience) a simple directory for online shoppers in Delhi.
