feel threatened by online shoppingLocal shopkeeper Ravi Gada No. I
am not threatened by online shopping. According to me, people would
definitely prefer local shopping more as I believe people would
like to touch, feel, smell and definitely try the object before
they would buy it.Local shopkeeper Ram Verma I do not feel
threatened by the online shopping web sites as I feel people like
to touch and feel the things they buy and they might feel worried
if they buy an expensive thing online. 5. CONCLUSION As per our
survey: Indians do not prefer online shopping as they would like to
touch, feel, smell and try the object before they buy it.The rate
of cyber crime is high.For buying things online there is no proper
interaction with the shopkeeper.People also might get cheated while
shopping online.And of course they prefer bargaining for what they
would want to buy. So we conclude that local shopkeepers in our
area Goregaon (west), Mumbai are not threatened by online shopping.
