Abstract: India's digital trade ecosystem has witnessed exponential growth over the past decade, driven by the rapid adoption of e-commerce platforms, digital payment systems, and cross-border trade technologies. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in this landscape, enabling smarter trade facilitation, fraud detection, supply chain optimization, and personalized consumer experiences. This study examines the multifaceted role of AI in strengthening India's digital trade ecosystem, analysing its impact on key trade sectors including e-commerce, logistics, customs automation, and financial transactions. The research also explores the challenges of AI integration in trade systems and the readiness of Indian businesses to adopt AI-driven solutions. The findings suggest that while AI holds immense potential for accelerating India's digital trade growth, issues such as data privacy, infrastructure gaps, and skill shortages must be addressed for sustainable and inclusive development.
