India is a very divided country. So, if you are catering to top 10% of the population you are already in the ball-park of 100 million people, that pretty much beats out every Western country except USA. The number in middle class is about 400million, that is the number to focus at least for immediate future. The rest of 800 million, well, God Bless them!

How will this impact people? Many of those local sellers already are very poor. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that families are starving as a consequence. For example, thousands of farmers in India are committing suicide per year, apparently due to economic conditions.
ECommerce and logistics have nothing to do with it.

"India's per capita income (nominal) was $ 1570 in 2013." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_in_India So like 30-50 times less than a "western" country. :/

I am very to surprised to see article talking about Shopclues, which is notoriously famous for sending counterfiet items instead of genuine. You could buy pirated Windows or Xbox/PS game DVDs from that site.
