Innoviti joins ONDC platform to help small sellers accelerate sales through co-promotion opportunities with banks and brands

ONDC Network will help millions of small sellers participate in the digital revolution by connecting them to millions of digital consumers.  At the same time, it also helps consumers access more sellers through an open network, democratizing the digital marketplace to enable best purchase connections between buyers and sellers.

However, to compete effectively small sellers may need digital tools like what mature e-commerce marketplaces can provide. Tools such as zero-cost EMI, cashbacks and upgrade offers funded through banks and brands are the mainstay for large e-commerce marketplaces to drive sales. 

Innoviti through its collaborative commerce platform hopes to address this problem of co-funded offers for small sellers. Through its seller app integrated with the ONDC Network, Innoviti will help the sellers not only publish their products onto the Network to be visible to all buyer apps, but also help sellers associate with products attractive purchase tools co-funded by banks and brands that can help them sell more. This will help to create a level playing field for small sellers, enhancing the chances of conversion while reducing the conversion cost.

Speaking on the occasion, Rajeev Agrawal, Founder and CEO of Innoviti said, “Innoviti sees a huge opportunity to unlock access to millions of customers for small merchants by not only improving their discoverability through the ONDC Network, but also by bringing access to purchase offers co-funded by banks and brands, that can help them drive more customers, more sales and more profits than possible otherwise.”

T Koshy – CEO ONDC said, “We are delighted to bring Innoviti to ONDC Network. Innoviti’s participation in ONDC will help small sellers and their proposal to develop special solutions for such small sellers could be further value addition to help them fully benefit from the Network which may be a challenge with their current constraints.“
