ONDC to touch 10 million transactions in June: Official

ONDC will surpass major e-commerce players like Flipkart and Amazon in future

New Delhi: The Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC), which was set up with an aim to democratise the country’s e-commerce ecosystem, is on course to touch the 10-million transaction mark in June, a senior official said on Thursday.

The open network has been adding one million transactions on a month-on-month basis, he said.

“We will touch 10 million transactions in the month of June. We are growing strong, adding about one million transactions month-on-month,” ONDC CBO and President (Network Expansion) Shireesh Joshi said.

Joshi was speaking here on the sidelines of the Bengal Chamber-organised 3rd edition of ‘World MSME Day’.

He said testing of financial services with loans has also commenced with two private lenders, and the network will start insurance offerings soon, too.

“Once these two categories settle, we will also include mutual funds,” Joshi said.

The official expressed hope that ONDC will surpass major e-commerce players like Flipkart and Amazon in future.

At present, the number of transactions on ONDC is small, but it has been growing steadily and rapidly over the past year-and-a-half, he said.

Earlier, there were doubts about the success of ONDC as an open network, but it has been proven that it works very well, and is growing with new categories getting added in phases, Joshi said.

The network has also provided export opportunities, he added.

Arup Kumar, the CGM of Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI), said the lender is supporting MSMEs in several ways, including onboarding them onto the ONDC.

He also said SIDBI has signed an MoU with the government for funding ‘Jan Aushadhi’ stores.

Eagle Labs launches impirica CBD brand

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Eagle Labs has launched impirica, a new brand of CBD intended to eliminate consumer fear, and increase confidence, in trying the exciting new cannabidiol category. Michael Law Although most Americans have now heard about CBD, many are very confused and concerned about product quality. This is inhibiting trial in the category and holding back conversion into sales. In fact, a 2017 study by Johns Hopkins University found that two out of three CBD products on the shelf did not contain the amount of CBD reflected on the label. Furthermore, in 2018 and 2019, the FDA sent notices to a substantial number of CBD manufacturers advising them of serious concerns about product quality or egregious medical claims. The impirica brand looks different than most CBD brands — the brand name itself connotes testing and trust, says Eagle Labs chief commercial officer Michael Law. “It doesn’t use the traditional category colors of browns and greens, and you won’t find a hemp lea
