India’s E-commerce Surge: A market multiplier for startups and investors

Our Founder and MD, Mr. Shriram Subramanian, recently published an article in Moneycontrol addressing the remarkable expansion of India’s e-commerce landscape and its transformative effects on startups, investors, and the broader economic ecosystem.
