- What are the challenges CloudTrains has faced? How did your company overcome such challenges?
There are many challenges in a startup journey, but the number of challenges is always equal to your learning. Challenges make you strong and give a chance to get the best version of yourself. Like all businesses and especially startups, CloudTrains too faced a lot of ‘ups’ and ‘downs’ during our initial days. To state some, we had to start building trust, defining areas of responsibilities, implementing robust processes in the development team, keeping the right balance between business and personal life.
It’s no surprise that businesses in its growing phase can easily take up to 100 per cent of one’s free time, so setting up priorities at some point is extremely essential. We believe that no such point exists where you can stop and call it as the success destination, however, we also believe that different people define success in different ways for themselves.
We learnt that giving freedom to your people is the best thing a leader can ever do. It seems to be risky at the beginning, with most fellow entrepreneurs advising us against it. But our team proved them wrong, and we are proud of them today. So, believing in your people and having a strong desire to bring change can make any startup successful.
We love challenges – we treat them as an opportunity to learn something new. In our company, there’s a stress on developing skills and abilities. That’s why we engage in many educational actions – we share knowledge on international conferences and events, set webinars and meet-ups for e-commerce and open source communities.

- What are your views on people turning towards e-commerce sites from the traditional store-buying preference?
E-commerce is a medium between two major parts of the online business market, first is customer and second is Sales. E-commerce marketing is making sales by creating and increasing awareness about an online presence, store’s product offerings, and brand. E-commerce marketing is also raising consciousness about an online store’s product offerings and brand.
In 2019, retail online commerce purchases worldwide amounted to 3.52 trillion US dollars and online retailers revenues are projected to grow to 6.53 trillion US dollars in 2022. The Top online stores’ revenue amounted to almost 100 billion US dollars in 2017. E-commerce Platforms is one of the most popular online activities worldwide. The biggest online traffic is running through the e-commerce marketing sector in google search engine. E-commerce is the largest community in India, USA, China and Japan.
Mostly four types of e-commerce business models have used the e-commerce business industry. Each has its best scopes and challenges, and many companies operate in several of these categories simultaneously.
Knowing what box your big idea fits in will help you think creatively about how your opportunities and threats might be.
- B2C – Business to consumer.
- B2B – Business to business.
- C2B – Consumer to business.
- C2C – Consumer to consumer.
E-commerce businesses have a lot of potential and 265% growth rate, from $1.5 trillion in 2015 to $5.9 trillion in 2023. This shows a future of steady upward trend with no signs of decline. But, what’s even more interesting is the global e-commerce sales have been steadily eating up the worldwide retail market.
