India has transformed into a digital powerhouse, yet its commerce landscape remains largely untouched by digitization. Astonishingly, a mere 5-6% of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) sell online. The disparity is undeniable. How can we change this? Today at the Antler-FIDE-ONDC event to launch the #BuildOnONDC initiative, we got a glimpse of how we can reimagine commerce from the ground up. The aim is to make e-commerce inclusive and small business-friendly and we are on the path to achieve this through the Open Network For Digital Commerce (@ONDC_Official), built on the backbone of open source Beckn Protocol. ONDC, projected to create $200 billion in value over a decade, is changing the way digital transactions happen online. With its ability to unbundle commerce through interoperability, it is creating a level playing field, allowing all businesses, including from tier-2 and tier-3 cities to be not only discovered but also compete within the online market. We are excited to be a part of this revolution and we invite you to take full advantage of the #AntlerONDC initiative. Learn more on buildonondc.com It’s time to build on ONDC.

In today’s digital economy, a single company functions as an intermediary or aggregator, uniting service providers and consumers on a website or app. This makes it convenient for people to find products or services, place orders, receive deliveries, and get support, all in one place. While this approach has its benefits, does it really work for everyone? Can all the businesses, regardless of their size, and all the consumers, regardless of the app they use, find and connect on these centralized platforms? What about discovering your next-door Kirana store or vegetable vendor on your favourite app? 🛒🏪 It’s time we adopted a new way of thinking about digital transactions. 💡 As @SujithNairK said, the current centralized model of commerce works. But what if we could redistribute the opportunity, cost and risk across a network of platforms? The vision is to create an interconnected #interoperable network, akin to the principles of the internet, where consumers can access any platform and seamlessly find a product or service, place orders, and interact with service providers, regardless of the platform they are on. 🌐🤝 This #decentralized approach, like the one enabled by #BecknProtocol, emphasizes openness, inclusivity, and a level playing field for all participants. By embracing these first principles, the protocol empowers consumers and service providers alike, breaking down barriers and unleashing the true potential of an open network. 🚀🔓 Just as the railroads once revolutionized transportation and commerce, Beckn Protocol represents a new frontier in how technology can shape the way we interact and transact, empowering us to create a world where opportunity and discovery are no longer confined to a single platform, but freely accessible across the digital lands. Let’s move to a more accessible and equitable digital future. Join us on this transformation.
