MUMBAI: Mumbai resident Shivam Vahia cannot remember the last time he left home to shop. He spends about 30,000 rupees (US$364 or RM1,606) a month buying necessities like groceries, clothes and gadgets, all by tapping a few buttons on his mobile phone.

“My only offline spending is at bars and restaurants when I go to meet friends,” said the 24-year-old engineering graduate.
