Abstract : This study focuses at the significant effect of blockchain technological innovation on web-based business in India with a unique spotlight on supply management network. The report sheds light on an examination of the current literatures for the research topic, arguing about both the possible benefits and impediments related with blockchain innovation. The exploration technique utilized in this study incorporates a mix of online reviews and meetings with directors and business specialists. With this review, we aim to acquire knowledge into the acumens and temperaments of Indian retail organizations towards blockchain innovation. The consequences of our examination show that a few respondents have a good understanding of blockchain innovation and know about its expected advantages in further developing security, guaranteeing information respectability and diminishing extortion. In any case, there are other people who have restricted mindfulness or more prominent interest in embracing the innovation. Taken together, the outcomes recommend that further exploration is expected to work with the broad adoption of blockchain innovation for supply network deriving the Indian online business in retail space. Likewise, obviously there are as yet exceptional issues in the implementation of blockchain innovation in e-commerce sector.

Keywords : Block Chain Technology, Supply chain management, E-commerce, Digital Ledger.
