ONDC isn’t an app, platform, intermediary, or software; rather, it comprises a set of specifications meticulously crafted to promote open, unbundled, and interoperable networks, thereby eradicating the need for reliance on a single platform.
The introduction of ONDC aims to democratize and decentralize ecommerce inclusivity and accessibility for sellers, particularly small and medium enterprises and local businesses. This will result in increased options and independence for consumers.
