In recent times, digitization and UPI payments have become pervasive in India, leading to a flourishing e-commerce landscape. Riding this wave of progress, the government has introduced ONDC (Open Network for Digital Commerce), an initiative aimed at creating a fair and inclusive environment for online sellers.
The primary goal of ONDC is to empower sellers and brands, enabling them to unleash their full potential in the vast online marketplace.
The initiative aims to eliminate barriers and provide equal opportunities for all participants in the e-commerce market, regardless of their registered platforms. By fostering a level playing field, ONDC contributes to the growth and prosperity of the digital commerce sector in India.
Through collaboration and shared resources, the ONDC network is reshaping the e-commerce landscape by driving innovation and streamlining operations.
A few milestones of ONDC
ONDC has achieved remarkable milestones, solidifying its position as a trailblazer in the digital commerce domain. With over 36,000 sellers and 45+ participants, spanning 236 cities and eight diverse categories, the platform has made a significant impact. It has also achieved notable success, with peak transactions reaching an impressive 25,000 retail orders in a single day.
Commenting on this rapid growth, Arishekar, Sr. Director of Marketing at SellerApp, a data analytics company stated, “The growth of ONDC is testament to the immense potential and entrepreneurial spirit of businesses in India. ONDC is driving digital commerce growth by providing a robust platform for sellers, buyers, and service providers. The network aims to empower sellers to thrive in the dynamic marketplace.”
This growth reflects its ability to attract a diverse range of sellers and foster a vibrant ecosystem of collaboration and innovation. By providing sellers with a robust platform, ONDC is revolutionizing the way business is conducted in the digital realm.
