Snapdeal co-founder and chief executive officer Kunal Bahl recently took over as the chairman of the e-commerce committee of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) for 2020-21, the trade body recently announced. In its meeting held last week, the committee had resolved to use the growth and momentum of India's e-commerce sector to support the economy’s revival.

The upcoming e-commerce policy, the consumer protection rules and a consistent interpretation of the intermediary status of e-commerce platforms figure high on the immediate agenda of the committee, a CII release said.

The committee will also focus on resolving policy issues that will help accelerate the growth of exports through e-commerce platforms. Bahl said accelerated digitalisation has started to blur the demarcation between those who like to transact online and those who prefer the experience of dealing through physical channels.

"The committee will work closely with the government to support harmonisation of various laws under finalisation with the aim to ensure ease of business and compliance for the industry," CII said.

Measures to enable protection for gig workers, impacted by the business disruption were included as a key priority for the on-going year, it added.
