CAIT Conclave to Highlight E-commerce Exploitation

The event, titled 'Cruel Face of Quick Commerce and E-Commerce', will be held at the Constitution Club in New Delhi. It is being organized in collaboration with the All India Mobile Retailers Association (AIMRA) and the All India Consumer Products Distributors Federation (AICPDF).

According to CAIT, the conclave will bring together a broad coalition of stakeholders including trade leaders, policy experts, economists, and representatives from various sectors of India's traditional retail market. The purpose is to critically examine the rapid rise of digital commerce platforms—particularly quick commerce and large e-commerce firms—and their alleged adverse impacts on small traders, retailers, and even consumers.

In a strongly worded statement, CAIT emphasized that while digital platforms were initially hailed as revolutionary for improving convenience and access, their unchecked expansion has led to serious challenges. The organization alleges that these platforms have now begun to operate in ways that undermine the very principles of fair competition and equitable growth.
