How Online Dispute Resolution Is Shaping Modern Conflict Management

Online dispute resolution (ODR) refers to settling disagreements or conflicts between individuals or businesses through digital tools such as video calls, emails, or a website, rather than in-person meetings or court appearances.

With most companies shifting their businesses online, ODR has emerged as a necessity as consumers now prefer digital solutions to seek resolution over traditional methods for speed and cost-effectiveness.

Startups operating in the sector have started gaining traction from investors of late.

Based on Tracxn data, Sama raised $188K from Campus Fund and others so far.

Earlier in April, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) reportedly issued a draft circular proposal, highlighting the need for expansion of the ODR mechanism in the securities market.

According to Online Legal India data, the ODR market in India is projected to grow at a CAGR of 30% from 2023 to 2027, reflecting strong demand for digital dispute resolution services.
