Objectives

The major objectives include:

  • ending monopolies of the platforms[64]
  • democratisation[64] and decentralisation[35]
  • digitisation of the value chain[65]
  • standardisation of operations[35]
  • inclusivity and access for sellers, especially small and medium enterprises as well as local businesses[35]
  • increased efficiency in logistics[35]
  • more choices and independency for consumers[66][35]
  • ensured data privacy and confidentiality[67]
  • decreased cost of operation[66]

It is compared to Unified Payments Interface (UPI).[66]

Structure

The ONDC uses "free softwared methodology, open specifications and open network protocol".[68] On the ONDC, the consumers and merchants can transact goods and services independent of platform or application.[69][64] Beckn will provide the technology and specification layer on which ONDC will design the network policies, network trust, network grievance handling and network reputation system.[70] ONDC plans on implementing dynamic pricing model, digitised inventory management and optimise the delivery cost to help reduce cost of doing business for everyone on the platform.[71] ONDC will work on a hyper local search engine model based on GPS proximity data as default setting. The buyer can independently select the seller and logistics partner to complete the order.[72]

Beckn Protocol

The backend of the ONDC is built on Beckn Protocol, an open and interoperable protocol for decentralised digital commerce. Beckn Gateways provides anonymised aggregated data generated from the network. The interoperability achieved by unbundling packet transmission layer from experience layer so that the core of commercial transactions such as discovery, order booking, payment, delivery and fulfillment can happen in a standardised manner. It can be customised based on the requirement of customer and provider by taking modular approach.[73][74] Beckn is not ecommerce specific and can be used in other area of digital public infrastructure like healthcare, mobility etc.[3]

Nandan Nilekani, Pramod Varma and Sujith Nair developed Beckn Protocol in partnership with ISPIRT.[62] The project is supported by Beckn Foundation.[75][76] Beckn brand is owned by Open Shared Mobility Foundation in which Nandan Nilekani is the sole investor.[77] It facilitates the third layer of public digital infrastructure that is the digital transaction layer in an open digital ecosystem. This helps promote market competition and regulate anti-competitive behavior. The development came after failure of US standard bodies to set new standards and left it to Big Tech companies to solve the issue. Beckn Protocol is a substitute for and compatible with the similar protocols developed by US that are in use globally for transactions and sending information between computers. Success of UPI gave further impetus to develop more open-source ecosystem in other areas at national scale.[62][78]

Industry Working Group

Microsoft and Oracle Corporation are looking for partnership to supply technology solutions which can add value to base ONDC network by helping companies scale up their operations. They are part of an industry working group for developing buyers, sellers and logistics provider registry, network reputation index and online dispute resolution framework. To ease on-boarding process, Microsoft started providing sellers toolkit. Oracle is designing a neutral, transparent reputation index for sellers.[79] Amazon is working with ONDC to digitise Kirana stores.[80] Sequoia Capital, SoftBank Group and Indian Venture Capital Association started pushing portfolio companies they invested in to actively take part in ONDC.[81]

To streamline payment process for buyers, sellers and logistics partners, Razorpay is going to integrate payment reconciliation service on ONDC to provide single view of all transactions.[86] It will be available to all network participants and will validate every transactions with audit trail for documentation. This is to resolve future dispute or discrepancy.[87]

It will aid in increasing the number of monthly transactions between big businesses and retail customers on the platform. Kochi Metro will be integrated with Google Maps by ONDC, enabling customers to purchase tickets straight from the app by utilizing the ONDC framework. Meta is planning to incorporate the ONDC framework into WhatsApp in order to expedite the on-boarding process for small businesses. From 2024, Meta will concentrate on monetization via the ONDC platform.[90] Additionally, Google Maps will integrate more public transportation options. In order to enable 500,000 micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) create conversational buyer and seller experiences on WhatsApp and move them into the digital platform, Meta and ONDC will collaborate to develop digital skills.[91][92]

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed by ONDC and Dhiway to collaboratively develop an interoperable distributed ledger network as a scoring repository called Confidex using CORD, an open-source, layer-one distributed ledger framework.[93][94]

Concerns

Industry is raising concerns on the liability of network participants for consumer complaints and the implementation of ecommerce rules on various stakeholders. There is also pertaining questions regarding third-party network policy audits and whether it will include search algorithms. Experts are discussing how stakeholders can make sure that any entity developing both buyer and seller side app on ONDC must be stopped from gaming the system. Companies and ONDC are also trying to resolve the issue of network disruption liability and uptime guarantee. Private sector is waiting for traction before they make any big, long term investment on ONDC.[43]

According to JM Financial, ONDC getting data, algorithms of customer buying behavior from larger e-commerce players is a challenge. ONDC framework limits data usage and storage which affects interoperability.[95] As per CEO T Koshy, ONDC will not subsidize pricing for customers using shareholders money. Instead it will focus more on innovation and special value addition to product.[96] Government told ONDC to prepare detail report on grievance redressal mechanism and submit it by the end of September 2022. The system needs to be robust and competitive.[97] Third-party agency will handle Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) by checking digital trail left by individual orders. Customers can check complaint status and how many are resolved. It will involved in the final rating of the merchants. ONDC will record all complaints filed against a merchant which will be linked directly to the network-wide reputation index that tabulates percentages of complaints raised, resolved or not resolved, as well as those that consumers may choose to take to consumer courts. The draft ODR policy will published by an expert committee of NITI Aayog. ONDC dashboard will publish monthly statistics of complaints received by seller side apps. On 2 September 2022, ONDC invited public feedback on Issue and Grievance Management Structure (IGMS) resolving buyer and seller complaints. The mechanism will be similar to what non-profit company Sahamati uses for their Account Aggregator Network but much faster and traceable.[98]

According to Consumer Affairs Secretary Rohit Kumar Singh, in order for customers to receive satisfactory services, ONDC must address the liability issue. Additionally, he alerted T Koshy, CEO of ONDC, of the problem, saying that without it, ONDC could not be able to serve customers.[99]
