The Indian market when it comes to most industries is highly saturated with several players, both domestic and international, whether it is the FMCG Industry or the Service Industry. But with changing times in the country, a new medium to conduct traditional businesses has shown promise: creation of digital intermediaries in what has been traditional services being conducted for years. This digitisation has the potential of opening up uncontested market space in the form of blue oceans. Whether its Ola Cabs which was founded in the year 2010, or Big Basket founded in 2011 these companies have been able to completely change the Indian market by simply allowing people to access the same services they have always been able to, but through their phones and computers. The area is highly inviting to new entrepreneurs as its as simple as finding an old service and playing the role of facilitating the meeting between demand and supply.
