India post is gaining from E-commerce in India. True, the drowning India Post is gaining its strength and becoming a major player in E-commerce. Due to the advent of E-mails and courier services, postal services were merely surviving and the Postal sector was in loss.

E-commerce is gaining these days and people are showing interest to buy products online. Earlier people in major cities used to buy products online.

Delivering the products is a major part in online selling. As the rural areas cannot be reached by private delivery services and as post offices are present in each and every village, the delivery of the products bought online is done by the postal services. The people in rural areas are coming to know about the E-market places and the advantages of buying online like the cheaper prices and the variety of products which are not available in their local markets.

The E-market places like Amazon, Flipkart, Snapdeal etc. are having tie-ups with the postal services to deliver the products and recieve the payment.
