As someone who runs a small online business, I'm concerned about reduced competition. Hope CCI has properly evaluated this deal. Ecom Express had better rates for small sellers compared to Delhivery.

Hope the employees of Ecom Express don't face job cuts. Mergers often lead to restructuring and layoffs. CCI should have included job protection clauses in the approval.

While consolidation is good, I hope Delhivery maintains Ecom's customer service standards. Their delivery executives in my area are much more polite and careful with packages compared to others.
