Global Sun Solutions: venture capitalist investment in India’s fledgling e-commerce sector has topped the $1 billion mark in 2014.
Shenzhen, China – East Shenzhen based Global Sun Solutions says hopes that the Indian e-commerce sector can emulate the spectacular growth of that in China have helped push early-stage and seed venture capital investment in the country past the $1 billion mark in 2014.
Much of the appetite among investors has concentrated on the brewing battle between US online retailer Amazon.com and the country’s homegrown e-tailer, Flipkart.com
“Both companies are committing what look like big numbers to what promises to be a war of attrition in what could be the most exciting e-commerce sector in the world,” said Steven Aaron, VP at Global Sun Solutions alluding to Amazon’s plans to invest $2 billion on infrastructure and logistics and Flipkart’s recently-concluded $1 billion round of funding rumored to aimed at beefing up its mobile platforms.
Though the level of early-stage investment in the Indian market is dwarfed by that in the US or Europe, it represents a significant increase on last year’s $643 million.
“Many of these early-stage venture capitalists are hoping that companies like Flipkart and Snapdeal can potentially wind up becoming India’s answer to Alibaba. Given the size of India’s population, such an outcome isn’t a pipe-dream,” continued Aaron.
Global Sun Solutions recently launched its own India e-commerce “watch list” which compiles 10 carefully selected e-commerce companies, which it believes will attract the attention of the bigger players in the market, and includes application developers and online payments innovators. “By identifying these innovators early and acquiring holdings on our clients’ behalves, we aim to help them take advantage of the activity going on within Indian e-commerce,” concluded Aaron.
