E-retailing has emerged as a significant player in the retail industry in India. The major cutthroat competition happens between Flipkart, Amazon, and Snap deal. These merchants have a significant competitive edge on electronic goods over other merchants in Indian online shopping portals. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to understand and analyses the universal perception and satisfaction quotient of customers in India concerning to the purchase of electronic goods via these e-commerce merchants.  We have used hypothesis testing and analysis of variance to understand customer satisfaction and customer perception. The results show that overall customer satisfaction is the highest for Flipkart. Also, the physical appeal and the quality of the product are the main reasons which impact the customer's perception toward not shopping online. This study is original in itself because it is limited to the purchase of electronic goods only from the emerging e-retail merchants-  Flipkart, Snap deal, and Amazon in India.

This article draws insight from the literature to propose a model interlinking key stages in the consultative selling process, customer engagement, and customer satisfaction. It is argued that customer journey should be designed as a process of empowering customers to make the right choices and the role of businesses should be to design and deliver products that meet with needs realized in the consultative process between the business and the customer. Even though this discussion is situated within the context of the retail industry, the findings could possibly be applied in various other customer relationship contexts as well.
