Companies Abandon Websites for Mobile

India is undergoing something of a commerce revolution. The country has become a very prominent mobile market, with smartphone ownership skyrocketing over the past few years. As the mobile space becomes more prominent, retailers are beginning to change their approach to the digital space. Myntra, one of the leading fashion e-commerce companies in India, shut down its website at the beginning of this month, opting instead to become completely mobile-centric. Myntra is not the only company that is doing this, of course. Several others have begun shutting down their websites in order to focus their efforts on the mobile space. These companies see great promise in the mobile commerce world and believe that their websites are not as effective at engaging mobile consumers as applications are. Apps have become one of the easiest ways for consumers to shop for and purchase products and this fact has not gone unnoticed among retailers.
