Interesting. Remember that in the USA we need logistics infrastructure because it is very large and not dense here (outside of a few big cities along the coasts.)

Do you think in India, where you have very large and dense cities, direct exchanges between people who live physically near each other can replace the logistics infrastructure? Perhaps people could use mobile phones to identify and trade directly with nearby peers, without the postal or shipping services?

Though in place like India there might be some time yet to go as we lack basic logistics infrastructure to move physical goods between peers cheap and reliably.

Would love a follow up post on the way an ERP/backend expert views this new world- challenges, etc.?
