Niti Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant said that e-commerce has revolutionized the retail sector in India and it will play a major role in the country's growth story going forward. Further, he stated that driven by the growth in India's retail market, the country's Gross domestic product (GDP) will also witness an increase and result in more job opportunities.
He added e-commerce market has brought a revolution in India's retail sector and nobody can stop it now. According to Kant, India is currently growing at over 7% and if the country has to grow at 9%, then e-commerce market will have to play a major role.
