As the demand for e-service goes up several fold, peoples’ expectations from internet based traders are going up. The traders are now focusing on quick service to retain their clientele. Speed has become the essence of every transaction. People ordering through e-platforms expect the deliveries are handed over in the shortest possible time.
Many e-trading platforms have experienced a surge in their businesses and finding difficulties in coping up with the demand, which many expect would lead to job creation.

An opinion has already made currency that private and public organizations can invest in programs which empower young people to earn an income in this way.
