Speaking about how social commerce has brought a new spike in market, Rajiv Kumar Aggarwal, Founder and CEO, StoreHippo, said, “Social commerce has brought a new spike in market growth as it is expected to grow three times as fast as traditional e-commerce. Driven by mobile-first consumer preferences and the launch of new hyperlocal social commerce platforms, the emerging success of social commerce in India is a testimony to the power of people and communities.”

Rajiv Kumar Aggarwal, Founder & CEO, StoreHippo (E-commerce)
The pandemic proved beyond doubt that digital commerce would lead the way to growth, job opportunities and booming startup culture in India. With more and more SMEs as well as reputed brands taking the ecommerce route to survive amidst the ravages of the pandemic, we expect the Government to make it easier for businesses to go online. The government should further relax the regulatory compliances and paperwork needed to start an online store or online marketplace. The government should also increase the threshold for qualifying as an SME. This would help startups and small firms channelise their revenue for further growth which would eventually help the economy. Also, the new ecommerce verticals like Agritech, Edutech, Healthtech, Fintech etc. should get government support and push as these have the potential to change the Indian economy for the better.

Rajiv Kumar Aggarwal, Founder & CEO , StoreHippo

The pandemic has been tough on businesses of every scale and size. We were expecting tax benefits and compliance relaxation for new and emerging businesses which has been taken care of in the budget. By extending the tax benefits for startups incorporated until March 2023, the Government has shown its inclination to foster the startup culture booming in India. This will have multi-pronged benefits and help the startups drive the growth of the Indian economy.

Kriti Aggarwal, Co-Founder & CPO, StoreHippo said, "Work-life balance is a tightrope walk for most of us. The change in workforce dynamics and increasing competition among companies are threatening the security of a job for employees. Our ultimate goal is to create a flexible and motivating work environment - where employees feel trusted and valued. However, the yellow alert presently has got employees worried and in a critical mental state, so they must be provided with a flexible as well as virtual working environment along with an active learning experience for a better quality of work and results."

“Innovation is a key driver of India's corporate and economic growth, as proven by the pandemic crisis. As a result, we anticipate that the government would prioritise helping companies in dealing with the challenges and consequences of the pandemic. We expect regulations that make it easier for businesses to go online and run their online stores and marketplaces since offline businesses have been severely impacted and every business owner is planning to go online. Not all firms have the resources to fulfil the time-consuming compliance requirements, such as GST, or to deal with the paperwork required to launch an online endeavour.

StoreHippo’s 300+ native features and headless architecture make it easy for agritech brands to quickly add new customer touchpoints and pivot to new business models. Online agro-products stores built on StoreHippo can be easily and quickly personalized with unique themes, languages (including RTL like Urdu), customer segment or location-based payment and shipping options and more.

Social media bullying, which includes sexist comments and abusive language, affects women adversely, to the extent that they find it hard to concentrate on work, hampering their performance at workplaces. It is also challenging for companies to protect women employees from cyberbullying, but several people-first organisations are taking the initiatives.

Mr Rajiv Kumar Aggarwal, Founder and CEO, StoreHippo said that 2022 will see e-commerce evolving further with more focus on personalization, next-gen customer touchpoints, fast e-commerce penetration in tier III and beyond cities, more D2C unicorns in the market, a faster online transition of enterprise brands and diversification of B2B brands to cater to the D2C segment as well.

Tech invaded our lives like never before during the pandemic. As the year ends on an uncertain note, we talk about how mundane grocery is becoming the most exciting segment as both industry leaders and new players scramble to grab a slice of the quick commerce pie.

Change is the only constant.’ One of the many areas where this age-old adage still stands true is business. Rapid technological changes, globalization and the pandemic have changed the business landscape like never before.

The e-commerce industry has been growing significantly over the years. However, the occurrence of the pandemic last year came as a blessing in disguise and gave the requisite push to the sector to grow and proliferate. The primary reason for this growth was that the consumers increasingly preferred shopping online instead of physically visiting the store.

The outbreak of the pandemic has not been an easy time for the industrial sector in India. The second wave of COVID-19 has only added to its woes, taking a heavy toll on it, not just economically but emotionally as well. However, as of now India Inc. has learnt many valuable lessons and is transforming and adapting itself to survive.

2020 witnessed several new trends and developments across the globe. The pandemic has managed to transform our lives, the world of work and how people shop, live, and interact with others.

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has brought a sea change in the shopping behaviour of many Indians. The prominence of online shopping became a reality as the physical stores were compelled to shut down to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus.

Businesses have had to face not one but various key challenges in the past year. This year, however, seems to be brimming over with opportunities as the latest trends seem to indicate. We asked business executives about what in their opinion are the 21 reasons that will make this year exciting and worthwhile. Here is what they shared.

Earlier, shopping from the physical stores was the only method of purchasing. However, over the years, online shopping is increasingly preferred now by consumers of all age groups.

Rajiv Kumar, Founder & CEO, StoreHippo, says, "This has been an unprecedented year for businesses as well as humankind. So, we expect the government to focus on helping businesses cope with the challenges and effects of the pandemic. Since offline businesses are hit badly and every business owner is planning to go online, we expect the policies that make it easy for businesses to go online and manage their online store and marketplaces. Not all businesses have resources to meet the tedious compliance requirements like GST or going with the paperwork needed for starting an online venture. The government should ease rules and also offer support/exemptions to small and medium businesses from certain mandatory compliances. Overall the budget needs to facilitate easy access to capital to businesses that are reeling from after-effects of COVID. Apart from this, there should be some relief for businesses that have suffered significant losses during the lockdown and thereafter. "
