Abstract Bodos form the largest tribe group in Northeast but they do not form a compact group and are scattered in various states and this lack of majority in one area denies them the fruit of statehood. Their original religion is Bathou and supreme God is Sibrai. But with Ahom conquest of Northeast, Bodos began sliding towards Hinduism and are called Koch. Brahma is their surname. Education deficit led to their social decline, but Kalicharan Brahma attempted to make good this deficit and succeded to a large extent. With the accretion of knowledge came the demand for a new state of Udayachal which the Government did not accept and gave the Bodo Autonomous Council (BAC) for self-governance. People dissatisfied with BAC, took to violence, finally Bodoland Accord was signed in 1993.

Abstract There are about 12 million corner stores or Mom and Pop shops spread across nook and corner of India. In fact, 80% of grocery items are channeled to consumers through these shops. Traditionally, grocery items are procured by these shops from conventional wholesalers or nearby big retailers. In this distribution chain, these shops face certain persisting endemic problems like low quality products, inefficient logistics, lack of choices in products, fake products, etc., Thanks to the Internet based cutting edge technologies, B2B E-Commerce has emerged as an efficient and effective alternative to traditional distribution system for grocery items. This B2B E-Commerce is viewed as a panacea for all the ills of the traditional distribution chain. There are many players operating in the B2B E-Commerce in grocery. One such a significant player is TaikeeTM. This research is an attempt to understand the salience of TaikeeTM from the perspective of its customers so that it can serve its customers in a better possible way.
