The Truth About ONDC in India

Check out Dukaan if you are planning to take your business online - mydukaan.io/

If the dukaan plug during the middle was a paid promotion, better to mention that explicitly in description. Just a thought.

[@SUMANPRABHALA]

[@mandarrane]

You should plan on revisiting ondc topic since its 1+ year now

[@ifaisalalam]

Back in college, I ordered one pendrive from PayTM Mall because it was cheaper there. The delivery executive called me but I asked him to return it. He said okay and later marked it as delivered. I tried to speak with the customer care but they didn't do anything. Their best advice was for me to ask around if someone else took it! That was the last time I used PayTM Mall. Companies like Amazon, I know that if the product is not good I can return it. If the product is not eligible for returns, Amazon even refunds you money and let's you keep the product. I would not have the same trust with other companies, so I'd never use anything else other than Amazon or Flipkart. And would definitely not use others when the product is expensive.

[@gameislive547]

understand. but govt. know everything. i am sure ondc will provide best solution. look at UPI

[@akjain1997]

There would be o guess rating system for every partner involved be it courier partner or seller or even customer. So you would be able to rate them if services are not satisfactory

[@VishnuMp112]

Agreed. Similar experience happened for me with snapdeal. But after a lot of complaints , I was able to get a refund. But one day Amazon was not able to deliver my package because of damage in QR code and delivery guys were helpess and they returned it. Same product cost 40RS more next day. But they extended my prime membership to +3 months for this

[@laughlife7728]

That's not the thing here.. Think about the small merchants who are running in loses dide to monopoly

[@tarapappa1594]

People please support home grown startup more....... Amazon won't fund next line of startups in India

[@kipcrossing]

I like the predictions at the end. ONDC might end up benig the lower quality versions that's why branding + product will be important.

[@backstagewithmillionaires]

Let's see! It will be very interesting to see how this takes shape - UPI was so transformative for India's digital payments space, and in so many consumer-positive ways. I just hope ONDC achieves the same, and doesn't make things more complicated/confusing/expensive for consumers. -Caleb

[@Dr.Kraig_Ren]

UPI was a infrastructure, it doesn't apply here. When I heard that anyone could sell on it, I remembered that cheap made in India cord extension that burnt my PC. Since then, I always bought stuff made by respected companies, even if they cost more.

[@khalshubh]

This can be solved by ONDC official aka government needs to thoroughly check the platform they are accepting on the network but there is still risk in that and govt can't go through every platform and that too thoroughly, so there is still much needed here

[@bindruk4321]

@@Dr.Kraig_Ren Yeah , i remember american chocolates ordered in 1990's used to melt before they reached me. Since then no more fancy , third rate american goods for me , with ondc i can kick any number of american providers from bed bath and beyond to walmart and redistribute the profits among local manufacturers . You can continue paying 500 dollars for a cord extension until that's all you can afford before you sell your house to meet your food and petrol bills.

ONDC and UPI are amazing 🤩. It changed my perspective that a government should be sitting on a fence, I now think that government can and build neutral platforms and standards when private players can't come together and build one.

[@backstagewithmillionaires]

I don’t know if I’d call it neutral - GOI has a clear agenda, which is to benefit India’s economy and small sellers, and to weaken monopolies. Big companies also have their agenda. Only an open-source, democratic kind of system would be neutral, but web3 isn’t mature or stable enough yet to bring such innovation on such a huge scale, plus without the support of GOI you’d have a very low adoption from the population, as UPI probably wouldn’t be a supported mode of payment. I’m just really hoping ONDC makes thing BETTER. I don’t want it to kick out the existing powers (Amazon, Flipkart, and other big e-commerce players) and replace them with a hoard of the most ingenious sellers who are able to manipulate and control ONDC using bots and cheap/fake products. In such a case, big e-commerce players are the lesser evil - I hate shopping in Indian offline markets because of the scammy, manipulative techniques those guys use, and I really hope ONDC doesn’t become the online version of that, with no viable option left for the “department stores” mentioned in the video. -Caleb

@@backstagewithmillionaires I mean improving India's economy and preventing monopolies is as good as a goal gets for the government. Now as to your concerns, UPI didn't kill payment apps. People still prefer either Google Pay or Phonepe or whatever. ONDC will be the same.

Hyper Local Delivery & Supply Chain Management is a future of Ondc.

[@barryobrien1890]

Still very confusing. If ondc is just a network, who takes the pictures and presents the goods. If its the sellers website then the seller has to pay to develop a website. If this is done by the Indian government, then how do they charge for this. Amazon/Flipkart are masters of search and presentation. Will this be like ebay where you take a picture and put it up for sale. eBay failed in India, and is slowly dying globally. eBay had so many suppliers and customers they could not take advantage of scale, and it became too expensive for sellers. You are way off on the whole copy thing and don't report properly on supply chain. Most brands don't make their own products, but go to huge suppliers that make products for many customers with their customisation. Sony TV's are built on the same product line as lg, but will have different electronic circuit boards and plastic parts. If Amazon wants to copy Sony they don't start their own factory, but rather go to the company that builds Sony TV's and asks for their version. If they comitt to a certain volume they will get an Amazon brand, that comes from the same factory with similar parts and reliability, but maybe less premium features. Very few high volume consumer products come from separate factories. Even iphones come from Foxconn that make many other phones for lots of other customers using very similar parts. Amazon has no interest in copying products, but they will order a similar product from a supplier with Amazon brand. Amazon has their r&d brand lab 1, that makes the fire, Kindle and Alexa products but these are not copies.

[@saketghosh9359]

India government don't want companies like Amazon to rule over Indian market by surpress small business 🧒

[@barryobrien1890]

@@saketghosh9359 That's why they allowed Walmart to purchase Flipkart, and Amazon to get big bizar. Hmmmm. Not sure how this exchange will change things but it will be good to see. UPI has been hijacked by phone pe (walmart) Google pay and Amazon pay, with indian startups like Paytm being forced out of business. Without proper oversight this will only encourage online shopping which will primarily help Amazon and Flipkart

Well the all the cons of ONDC can be made into pros If there are frauds from the small brands with customers on ONDC , the Govt should set up a Customer Care office as part of ONDC which will take consumers complain & use Govts Law & Order to punish the seller take charges & give the refund to customer of the said item so this Govt Arm can play great Law Enforcement role in all transactions Rather then becoming a place for low end products it will be platform of trust & justice ⚖️

[@sundark123]

ONDC if implemented like UPI will be a boon for kirana stores who can not spend money and host their products in websites and manage them. Big step forward in e commerce inclusion of small players to break monopoly of AMAZON and FLIPKART. It will have buyer bias and of course we do not go to Amazon for purchasing everything. Most of us are used to buying things in around our place of stay from reliable shops who deliver quality products. It will benefit such sellers a lot. We order on WhatsApp from nearby shops. Once we receive the items we settle it with upi pay like gpay,phone pay etc. Millions of such transactions also take place day. We accept, return items and even reject items if they are as per our requirements. We settle payments only for the right items in our order. ONDC will help such shops and sellers.

I know these are too much expectations and may not be possible do be done by just a network but I think it is possible if they make rules before letting any platform join it.

Suppose in traditional store one sells clothes. Now the clothes they buy are from different suppliers. If they buy 10 types of tshirt which range between say 500 to 1000INR and suppose the average price is 700. Due to ONDC won't the supplier directly sell to the customers? Maybe at an average price of just 500? Won't the market become a perfectly competitive market? Also in the last part of the video you mentioned amazon launching a premium site and ONDC being the power quality site. Things become complex hereto. Don't you think ONDC will end up becoming a stock market thing where prices are going up and down continously? Also how will ONDC vompete with the data Amazon flipkart has? Or the management they have or the trust they have built? There are multiple dimensions. ONDC has to face many challenges ahead. I mean ONDC is great idea but its more innovation, like the network could be built on a blockchain but the government is seemingly not putting such efforts in blockchain R&D. ONDC could end up being a gimmick like snapdeal and left behind working in shadows and the big players still getting out what they want.
