#ITByte: A brief overview of the Government of India initiative - Open Network for Digital Commerce (#ONDC).

ONDC aims to promote an open platform for all aspects of the exchange of goods and services through electronic networks.

This technical approach to structural separation is not only taking place via an opening of a policy layer (#bluesky

Clearly its a soft withdrawal from the market *across* cities. Is this precursor to #ONDC ? https://twitter.com/rchhaparia/status/1446291519896375302

Please don't take the 'alternative to global giants'. That is just a plank to get more electoral bonds / partner investments.

Remember - *EVERY* global giant invested in Jio Platforms in 2020. #ONDC will eventually make small merchants as delivery agents

There is nothing decentralised about #ONDC. It is game changer where power centres move to #Koramangala and nothing more. If you get short term discounts like #GooglePay cashbacks for #UPI - enjoy while it lasts.

Giant platforms like Amazon and Flipkart will lose their influence over more than 60% of India's e-commerce sector. If ONDC is successful in meeting its purpose,

@logic such nice pickings to pad the anti- #ONDC anti- #Beckn tirade, does logic count for nothing? You will be taken only as seriously as the article is.

If ONDC, compliant with Beckn, isn't an improvement over Amazon/Flipkart et al, then NPCI wouldn't have been an improvement over Visa/Mastercard et al. But it was! A big one. ONDC could be too, lets see.

And the criticism? The regulator should be involved in ONDC? Hilarious! You couldn't complain to CCI if they had a vested interest!

PTO

I see only vitriol for the Beckn protocol for digital commerce, even though it, in its https://ondc.org #ONDC form, *could* loosen monopolies like Amazon. Without some justification, the vitriol seems like noise.

e.g. being created by actors endorsed by the Gates Foundation in other contexts does give #Beckn a hint of a bad smell. Also doesn't acknowledge pre-existing work like https://valueflo.ws . Also, other open-source tech stacks of those actors, like https://sunbird.org, are mind-boggling contraptions.
