ONDC has a Data Problem

The Indian government has projected Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) as a platform to democratise e-commerce in India and break the hold of private players such as Amazon and Flipkart on the Indian market. While addressing the 'ONDC Elevate' programme last month, Union Minister Piyush Goyal said that ONDC is an engine of growth and could redefine the e-commerce industry completely.
ONDC has been widely discussed due to its highly competitive price on food delivery, challenging the dominance of established players like Swiggy and Zomato. Many users flocked the platform to avail the products at such cheap prices. It’s important to note that sellers on ONDC platform were able to sell products at such low prices because there’s no intermediary in between to take a percentage cut
