Modi bats for e-commerce, says traders take more risks than soldiers

February 27, 2014 13:34

Narendra Modi, the BJP's prime ministerial candidate, today made a strong pitch for using technology to boost commercial activities in the country and to overcome the fear of global challenges.

"Traders should use technology to make it big. People even in rural areas are now looking for branded stuff. Small businessmen can do big business by setting up virtual units, and take a leap. They can improve the delivery systems and go for online marketing. They can set up virtual malls," Modi told a gathering of the Confederation of All India Traders in the capital today.

"Our children have spread information technology all across the globe. We have to accept science and technology to improve our businesses," the BJP leader added. -- NDTV
