Some of the businesses operating in this channel include well-known players like Amazon, Flipkart, etc.

While the latter is serviced to the consumer by a business, the C2B model provides the end consumers with an opportunity to sell their products/services to companies. The method is popular in crowdsourcing based projects, the nature of which typically includes logo designing, sale of royalty-free photographs/media/design elements, and so on and so forth.(indiafilings, 2022)

It provides businesses with a platform to bid on government opportunities such as auctions, tenders, application submission, etc. The scope of this model is now enhanced, thanks to the investments made towards e-government.(applicationsquare_user, 2022)
