In collaboration with Nishith Desai Associates, the paper on ‘Advancing the Digital Economy: Shaping the E-Commerce Regulatory Landscape’ dives into the key policy & regulatory challenges that affect e-commerce ecosystem. The authors have analysed the regulatory and policy issues in the e-commerce ecosystem, while also highlighting the need to have a targeted approach to regulate this sector. With evolving business models, there is a greater need for exclusivity in terms of what might and might not be classified as e-commerce. The authors also explore the rise in popularity of e-commerce and the shortcomings of the existing regulatory environment. There is a dire need to establish a co-regulatory mechanism between stakeholders and the government so as to create legislation that can continually adapt to the needs of the sector. This white paper is a step towards a deeper understanding of the e-commerce ecosystem and the issues that need further deliberation.
