What changes you would like to see in the new ecommerce policy? The new ecommerce policy for India is being prepared. Over the last 2 years, the topic of crossborder ecommerce has achieved particular significance in India. While this maybe of academic significance to many people, it is actually a matter of great concern for Indian SMEs struggling to compete against the onslaught of international brands.

My opinion on the changes being made through these policies have been highlighted in this Bloomberg article today.

Draft e-commerce policy demands deeper discussions, deliberations and dialogues amongst policy makers & stakeholders for administrative / commercial clarities etc.,

Indian Draft e-commerce Policy is silent on “Online Dispute Resolution” as the Biggest issue today faced by both e-tailers and consumers are handling the Grievances and settling the disputes. Artificial Intelligence and Data Analysis of the consumers for mining data is another area where the draft policy is not vocal enough. Policy should have addressed something what is called as “Monopoly through mass targeting of consumer using Algorithms “ . I feel implementing this e-commerce policy without the Personal Data Protection Act being passed first is the feeling of Oasis in the Indian cyber desert . _Adv Prashant Mali_ Cyber & Privacy Policy Expert #ecommerce #Amazon #flipkart # #artificialintelligence #AI #consumer #policy #cyber #cyberlaw #dataprotection #privacy #meity #dataanalysis
