Expectations of demand revival are driven by the belief that consumers will still continue to avoid offline shops and malls and resellers have to move to a digital mode of fulfilment and (https://seller.f2fmart.com/index.php?p=login & amp;utm_source=business-wire-india & amp;utm_medium=press-release & amp;utm_campaign=f2fmart-pr-2nd-aug-2021) selling online with web-based stores.
