Quick commerce and logistics app Dunzo‘s seller arm has joined the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) and is looking to onboard over 20,000 merchants across verticals in the next 45 days, the company said on Thursday.
According to a senior executive, the seller app, which joined the ONDC less than two weeks ago, is already seeing high volumes.
The seller app will onboard 1,500 local merchants in the next week, in addition to being a logistics partner on the network.
It hopes to have 20,000 local merchants in the food, grocery, and pharmaceutical sectors within the next 45 days.
According to Dunzo Co-Founder Dalvir Suri, the number of daily orders for merchants has increased by three times since their onboarding on the ONDC.
“It’s been less than two weeks since we’ve been live on the network, and have already hit peak order volumes of more than 3,000 a day for groceries and other essential items through our local merchants,” he said.
Dunzo joined the ONDC about a year ago and has since expanded his business as a logistics aggregator.
