The Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) has been honoured with the prestigious Gold Award for “Application of Emerging Technologies for Providing Citizen-Centric Services” at the 27th National Conference on e-Governance (NCeG). The award, presented during the event held on September 3rd, 2024, in Mumbai, recognises ONDC’s innovative contributions to e-commerce and digital public infrastructure.
ONDC, a key component of India’s Digital Public Infrastructure, was established by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. It serves as a bridge between public service delivery and the technological advancement of the retail trade sector. By employing an interoperable, unbundled, and decentralised approach, ONDC has enabled over 12 million orders per month across various categories, including fashion, electronics, ride-hailing, and metro ticketing. The platform has also onboarded more than 6 lakh sellers across India, empowering small businesses, artisans, women entrepreneurs, farmers, and street vendors to reach a broader audience and compete effectively.
The award was received by Sanjiv, Joint Secretary, DPIIT; T. Koshy, CEO, ONDC; and other department officials representing the ONDC ecosystem.
