Private sector involvement in developing ports became a
critical necessity in the 1980s due to a host of reasons. The bottleneck effect caused due to congestion in ports, had a considerable strain on the efficiency of distribution chains, which is an important factor that needed attention.
In this backdrop, government investments into port development were seen as a “White Elephant Syndrome”.
Amplified by recurring port congestion, consequent chronic service failures, were mainly attributed to the deterioration of service quality during this period.
Inadequate port services are phenomenal in this context, owing to the inability of governments to invest in port infrastructure capable of catering to the needs of international shipping. Hence many port complexes became virtual “white elephants”.

The term, ‘online’, pertains to the Internet. The ‘consumer’ is a person who buys things or enlists services. Therefore, the ‘online consumer’ can be defined as a person who engages in activities and achieves his goals through the use of internet and social media networks. With increasing globalization, humans are becoming busier and more dependent on the Internet. As a result, the number of people who used computers and the internet has increased exponentially, especially after the outbreak of COVID-19, which upended the world and caused almost all countries to be locked down partially or completely. Educational activities from primary to university students, various work-related day-to-day activities, bank transactions, etc., have come to be conducted online, causing an unprecedented increase in the number of online consumers.
