The last decade witnessed multifold advances in science, technology, tools and practices which have affected every corner of the human life, altering the thinking and processes of day to day activities. Many of the well established theories, hypothesis and notions of the past have also been challenged and questioned of its existential logic. Economic development, commerce and finance being a key tool for empowerment of any nation also needs multiple revisits to make it contemporary to the changing scenario. The way we transact our money, the consumption choices, the way we do our business, the way we maintain our ledgers, the way we make our investment decisions, the nature of public policies, everything has witnessed a paradigm shift. Thus, new academic inputs are needed for reaping benefits through this unprecedented time. In recent times, with the entire world in a lockdown, there was slow pace in economic growth. However digital medium has become a new norm in economy with many benefits which is yet to realize. More and more world leaders are becoming aware of this important aspect of empowerment and investing in mass digital learning programs.
