Cloudbazaar 2021: Web professionals and stalwarts discuss the future of eCommerce at the 10th annual event

The already booming e-commerce segment in India was further accelerated by the novel coronavirus pandemic. And the lockdowns led to the rapid growth of the web pro community. Several questions need to be answered to ensure everyone has proper guidance to grow and make their mark in the highly competitive ecosystem.

For example, most members of the community take time to figure out aspects like competing and collaborating with marketplaces, understanding new and emerging product categories, building, designing and growing e-commerce stores of the future, new methods of online transactions, and more.

In order to address these questions, Cloudbazaar is returning for its tenth edition with a host of veterans from the web ecosystem, and some of the biggest names in the digital world. A conference and trade show that attracts web developers, web designers, and other web solution providers every year, Cloudbazaar in association with .ORG aims to emphasise the importance of cloud services and provide exposure to the web pro community.

Securing the future

The latest edition of Cloudbazaar will be held under the theme ‘The Future of e-Commerce’ and will cover everything that pertains to how web professionals can prepare better for what e-commerce has to offer in the future. With more consumers turning to digital solutions for their shopping needs, MSMEs are slowly unlocking their digital ambitions and potential to serve them better.

This trend is turning out to be an opportune moment for web professionals to be key stakeholders in the digital ecosystem, and the future seems bright for pros who keep themselves upskilled and ready for this wave of digital requirements. India’s premier cloud and hosting event aims to help such web pros advance, upskill and win.

In its second year as a virtual event, attendees can take a virtual tour through online conferences, interactive virtual booths from exhibiting brands, and avail networking chances.
