Many products such as Echo speakers will not available. Also, batteries and floor cleaners will not be available as well. The company had no choice and had to do the needed. For now, they are fulfilling a compliance requirement s to its customers or else these customers will suffer.
In December 2018, India had modified foreign direct investment (FDI) rules for its burgeoning e-commerce sector. This move has certainly drawn major bets from many retail entities.

Also, these giants give out amazing offers to the consumers and that has always affected the medium and small-sized businesses say, researchers. For now, these arrangements will be barred under the new policy.
