With ease of accessibility being the driving force behind many emerging entrepreneurial avenues, the concept of electronic commerce or e-commerce has grown since its inception in the 1990’s. E-commerce is the buying and selling of goods and services or the transfer of funds and data over an electronic network, primarily the internet.

The commerce society of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Khalsa college organized an e-commerce conclave in association with the BRICS Chamber of Commerce and Industry on 10th February.
