People are reluctant to return to their workplaces and resume the job from where they left it, because the number of cases of active corona is tipping. The fear of getting sick is the underlying reason behind people's switch to online shopping, and this is actually the reason why the e-commerce industry is advancing by leaps and bounds.

Market Opportunities
Revolutionizing the e-commerce industry with artificial intelligence
In fact, many people now know much about Artificial Intelligence (AI), but a lot of people know what AI defines.

With AI, the e-commerce sector enhances customer experience, directs prospective clients to increase their sales and commends the items on the basis of their buying and navigation models. Today, the e-commerce markets influence AI to help customers understand better and to shorten the many processes. Some of the methods in which AI is revolutionising the e-commerce environment are – a customer-centric method, experiences at chatbot, AI-driven marketing mechanisation for sellers, comprehension of computer-generated mirrors, and improved customer approval.

Allocation and supply of medicines for treatment of COVID-19
