How To Do Dropshipping in India?

Dropshipping refers to a retail business which does not require any shore or showroom. It acts as a storefront to sell the products that are requested by the customer. To understand better let us consider an example, suppose a customer orders something the order will be passed on to the manufacturer by the dropshipper making him the middleman between the two.
