<h1>ONDC Initiative Seeks to Revolutionize E-Commerce with Open Networks, Boosting Accessibility for Small Businesses and Enhancing Consumer Choice.</h1> The Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) initiative aims to establish open networks for digital commerce, allowing the exchange of goods and services using open-sourced methodologies and protocols. This approach seeks to move beyond platform-centric models, enabling providers and consumers to use any compatible application for transactions. ONDC will standardize operations such as cataloguing and order management, making e-commerce more inclusive and accessible, particularly for small businesses. It promotes local supplier inclusion, enhances logistics efficiencies, and increases consumer choice by enabling the discovery of sellers, products, or services across various platforms.
