Description
Retail on Wheels captures how India has turned e-commerce into an art form — powered by proximity, purpose, and a bit of chaos management. It’s not just a market report; it’s a mirror of how the world’s most complex retail ecosystem learned to move faster than traffic on the Western Express Highway.
Across its three sections, Retail on Wheels tracks how a trillion-dollar consumption economy is being re-engineered — from defining the difference between e-commerce and quick commerce, to decoding how ONDC, UPI, and AI are quietly creating the world’s most inclusive, intelligent retail grid.
