Introduction
The convergence of law and technology has brought about a transformative shift in the way agreements are made and disputes are resolved in India. As digital transactions become increasingly prevalent, the legal framework governing digital agreements and arbitration has had to adapt to new realities. The Indian Contract Act 1872,[1] and the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996,[2] have traditionally governed contracts and arbitration, but the digital age has introduced complexities that require reinterpretation and evolution of these laws.
