Rapid growth of e-comm matter of concern, not source of pride: Piyush Goyal

Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal voiced his concerns on Wednesday about the rapid expansion of e-commerce in India, calling it a “matter of concern” rather than a source of pride. While speaking at an event for the launch of a report on the net impact of e-commerce on employment and consumer welfare, Goyal emphasised the potential social disruptions that could arise if the sector’s growth is not carefully managed, according to media reports.
