Panel Discussion: What Ecommerce Marketplaces are signalling about future of work and trade.
Desciption: Probably two decades ago, when you wanted to start a boutique selling your designer clothes or art, distributors and marketers controlled your destiny and success. Today, that has totally shifted. Ecommerce Marketplaces has given wings to the ambitions where creators can sell their creations and create communities in democratic way. This is starting to hint on the evolution of new norm in way people work. Anyone with ability to create or sell can be a merchant in 3 seconds. What does this tell us about importance of these massive technology infrastructures and their indirect impact on future of work?
In this session we want to talk about trends and innovation that ecommerce players are experimenting that might have huge impact on gig economy.
Panelists:
- Vaibhav Dabhade, CEO, Anchanto
- Markus Bruderer, Director, Antler
