able to trust these tech practices and follow
conservative practices only.
• Adoption –It is complicated for an economy
like that of India’s which is dominated by
MSMEs. Going digital for payments can be
complicated.
• Uncertainty in Regulation – There is a
requirement of full-fledged regulatory
frameworks which can contain the risks
• Discovery and Distribution of Content –
Creating a reputation among all the herd,
to stand out, is a big challenge.
• Data Security and Privacy Risk - there Big
Data involved, and everything is done
virtually, there’s a lot of risk of data theft,
frauds and other security issues.

done by most of the urban people.
