ONDC is India's open, government-backed digital commerce network - already connecting 370,000+ sellers across 800+ cities - that lets brands and distributors connect directly with buyers without a marketplace middleman taking a cut. List on it if you want a low-cost extra sales channel and don't mind that discovery and traffic are still nowhere near Amazon or Flipkart's scale yet; treat it as an experiment worth the low setup effort, not a channel to build your whole go-to-market around today.
