Unlocking Digital Transformation at Billion Scale
Abstract :
Unlocking Digital Transformation at Billion Scale
The talk shall focus on enabling digital transformation at a billion-scale level, emphasizing the role of digital commerce infrastructure like Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC). The ONDC was introduced as the foundational infrastructure for digital commerce in India, aiming to democratize by promoting interoperability, specialization, and inclusivity. Global digital markets face issues of concentration and limited penetration, which ONDC seeks to address. The speaker will cover the regulatory efforts in the US, EU, and UK to address platform dominance. ONDC is positioned as a network-based alternative to platform-centric models, enabling new business models and cross-domain applications. Ultimately, the success of ONDC depends on how effectively the ecosystem embraces and leverages it.
