E-Commerce in India: Economic and Legal Perspectives by Pralok Gupta
Pralok Gupta, FPM 2011, has written an interesting and informative book on the evolving dynamics of the e-commerce industry. The book presents a comprehensive analysis of the economic and regulatory aspects of the e-commerce sector by assessing the trends and characteristics and addressing the issues and challenges associated with it. The issues and challenges addressed in this book frequently appear as discussion points in policy debates, research forums and popular media.
