Government initiatives are reshaping the landscape for India’s retail and e-commerce sectors, with a focus on empowering women and supporting small businesses. The Ministry of Rural Development is establishing 700 SHE-MARTs and 1,000 fulfillment centers to bolster self-help group (SHG) enterprises and create opportunities for millions of women, while the Ministry of Women and Child Development launched SHe-Box 2.0 to address workplace harassment. Simultaneously, ONDC is digitizing procurement for kirana stores, and Meesho acquired Kirana Club to expand its reach in the grocery market, signaling a broader trend toward digital inclusion and support for traditional retailers.
