Exploring India's E-Commerce Landscape: Insights, Opportunities and Entity Setup

India’s internet and smartphone penetration has seen unprecedented growth in recent years. The number of internet connections increased significantly driven by the ‘Digital India’ programme. Simultaneously, the smartphone user base has also increased and is projected to reach 1 billion by 2026. This surge has propelled India’s digital sector, with expectations that it will achieve a valuation of US$ 1 trillion by 2030.

This rapid rise in internet users and smartphone penetration coupled with rising incomes has assisted the growth of India’s e-commerce sector.
