Good time to talk about digital public goods in India and what ONDC is all about:

ONDC stands for Open Network for Digital Commerce. It is a special purpose vehicle (SPV) setup as a not for profit company. The ownership structure is similar to NPCI 1/n ONDC was born out of a few movements - “Atma Nirbhar”, Anti-big tech etc. The Govt of India, under the ministry of commerce started listening to the problems of small businesses in India. One of their biggest problems have been deep discounting, predatory commissions etc. 2/n

The moment we've all been waiting for is here 🙌 India's account aggregator framework is live with a small set of beta users 🎉 This is such a big milestone and will create an orbit shift for the India fintech ecosystem just like what UPI did to payments. 1/n Account aggregator is an RBI initiative to enable end users to get access to their financial data from any application of their choice. Just like how UPI enabled access to money from 3rd party apps, AA does the same for data. 2/n
