To grab the opportunities and develop strategies to deal with the possible challenges in the Indian e–commerce market, the e-tailers should have the understanding about the e– commerce market and the factors affecting the online shopping behaviour of consumers. In this context, this study aims at investigating the attributes affecting the online shopping behaviour in the state of Odisha. It also examines the perception towards the various online shopping attributes like website attributes and customer attributes.
