India is sidestepping modern retail and disrupting several businesses by embracing e-commerce and internet technologies in a big way. Several multi-billion dollar businesses have been created in a shorter period in the e-commerce and internet sector. In the last five years alone, there have been 328 private equity and venture capital investments worth $5.3 billion in the sector.
