- The Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) pilot was launched in April 2022 under the guidance of Nandan Nilekani to democratize e-commerce in India and reduce the dominance of companies like Amazon and Flipkart. - ONDC aims to create an open, interoperable network that allows all e-commerce platforms and apps to connect with each other in order to increase discoverability for sellers and give buyers more options for price comparisons. - This open network could help the millions of small retailers and shops in India gain an online presence and better compete against larger e-commerce companies by making digital commerce more inclusive and accessible.
