· Business · StartupTalky

The Digital Commerce Coalition has been established by a number of ecommerce and quick commerce businesses. The goal of this industry-led coalition is to promote the long-term development of the ecosystem supporting online commerce. Zopto, Amazon, Swiggy, Eternal, and Meesho are among the first members of the alliance. With the formation of this trade group, the goals of the digital commerce ecosystem can be enhanced. Building trust with consumers, promoting responsible innovation, ensuring equal economic participation, and achieving digital economy-wide sustainability goals are all high on this list of priorities. According to the coalition's statement, it will facilitate responsible growth and development that is prepared for the future by providing a forum for stakeholder engagement, information sharing, and thought leadership.
