I'm visiting India currently from the States and the biggest hurdle to launching delivery sort of services here must have been effecively locating homes.

Addresses that most "western" countries consider expected (ex. 1 Apple Loop, City, State Zip) don't exist here. Companies literally print on ads "On ____ Road, near ____ Terminal behind ______ City, State".

If Amazon somehow figured this out for India delivery - they'll do great.

Lastly, a 30 day return policy (or any return policy) is unheard of here. Electronics, clothes, anything I bought here strictly said no returns no matter what (even if defective).




I don't know how the address is a issue. Care to explain?

30 day return policy? Check out flipkart.com, amongst others.
