The editorial
Source: The Economic Times · 1 Aug 2018The draft national e-commerce policy that has been the subject of media reports is a mishmash of policy, wishful thinking, procedural reform and waste of time. Its heart is in the right place: it wants to promote local champions. But what it proposes signally fails to contribute, save for the recommendation to allow startups to issue shares with differential voting rights. The proposal to create a single regulator, working under the umbrella of a single law, for the entire digital economy reveals the essential flaw of the report: it sees the digital economy as an exotic enclave, rather than as the natural evolution of the economy as a whole. To think that contract enforcement or financing in the digital world will take place under a special law is like saying that the Motor Vehicles Act will apply to cars that work on internal combustion engines and drive on the left side of the road while electric cars will ply under a new law.
