India has emerged as the world's second-largest e-retail market, but this growth is being shadowed by a pervasive culture of "dark patterns" and deceptive design. With 98% of local digital platforms reportedly using manipulative tactics, regulators are now scrambling to protect a massive, newly connected consumer base from systemic exploitation.
A new McKinsey & Company report identifies quick commerce as the fastest-growing segment in India's digital economy, projected to reach $35-$40 billion by 2030. This rapid expansion is driven by a structural shift in consumer behavior toward ultra-fast delivery for both essential and discretionary goods.
