On 24th June, the UK India Business Council held the second in its series of webinars discussing India’s e-commerce market.

UKIBC Associate Director Daxa Bharadwa moderated the session alongside UKIBC’s e-commerce expert and Associate Director Subhayu Ray. The two were joined by an excellent panel of industry experts – Niharika Rohella, Key Management Personnel, Product and Tech, ClickOnCare; Imtiaz Ibrahim, CEO and Co-Founder, Scale Global; Kiran Kumar Kolisetty, Co-Founder and CTO, Scale Global; and Howard Parker, Director, Business Development, Scale Global.

India’s e-commerce market and ukibc’s e-commerce solution

There is no doubt that India’s e-commerce market provides vast opportunities to UK brands. Particularly given the increase in online purchases during lockdown, which may further accelerate market growth in the next few months.

Headed by Subhayu Ray, the UKIBC is committed to supporting UK brands’ India ambition across all channels of distribution – both bricks and mortar, and online. Working with the Department for International Trade, UKIBC offers a ‘digital-first’, faster route to the Indian market through a turnkey e-commerce solution. We have a structured approach to minimise risk for UK brands in their e-commerce journey.
