And the precariousness of whether this isolation will be lifted any soon, and even if it does what would be the consequences. Thoughts about what the situation is going to be like in the upcoming time are weighing heavily on everyone’s mind. Well with some relaxation given to e-Commerce mobility both vendors and consumers breathed a sigh of relief. This action has given hopes to millions of sellers, distributors, manufacturers and others, making leeway for them to rekindle their source of income and sustain themselves through this unfortunate situation. On the other hand, the normal functioning of the ecommerce sector will greatly help maintain social distancing with no negative impact on the economic activities of the nation.

The eCommerce industry for sure has a pronounced role to play in the business world but at present and

the upcoming times it has got much greater part to play. The limited delivery services and the trifling shortage of products in the market due to the shutdown of local stores have made the demand of essential products surge high.

Considering this situation, the various eCommerce platforms have decided to expand their reach and band along with the local kirana/stores as well. In this manner, the items that got stocked in outlets are getting elbow room to vend out commodities.

Hence, if the full-fledged operation of the B2B services of both products and services through the e-Commerce platforms takes place, returning to normal state of affairs will not be very difficult. In short, the e-Commerce domain is the paladin of the nation at a time of such national emergency.

With restaurants, departmental stores, retail shops and other shops’ shutters being pulled down the online delivery activity is getting huge identification in the recent time. People on large number have started counting on these e-Commerce platforms to purchase necessary items. This dependency indicates that the online eCommerce firms particularly the online groceries are about to see an intense shift in its operations. The active participation of the sector will stimulate its advancement and at the same time intensify the deteriorating strength of the economy.

On the other hand, this episode is also encouraging the employment of modern technologies. For instance, many a time the thought of using drones to deliver goods and commodities have come to the mind of the geniuses.

Likewise, there are other technological innovations being worked upon which will not only support the current endeavours of the eCommerce sector but will at the same time bring stability and enhancement in the other domains too. This need is definitely opening new doors for innovative minds and creating new opportunities for startups to emerge in a market that seems to be deserted.
