KiranaPro becomes first ONDC-powered quick commerce company

 KiranaPro, India’s leading AI-powered quick commerce platform, has officially become the first and only Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC)-integrated quick commerce company.

"With this integration, KiranaPro will now leverage ONDC to connect millions of kirana store owners with customers nationwide, reinforcing its commitment to building public digital infrastructure for inclusive and equitable commerce," says an official release from KiranaPro.

ONDC-integration will enable KiranaPro to onboard and make available products from over seven lakh registered vendors across India, allowing rapid expansion and unlocking new opportunities for small retailers, the release added.

"Unlike traditional quick commerce platforms that rely on centralised warehousing, KiranaPro’s hyperlocal model directly connects neighbourhood Kirana stores with customers. This not only ensures a broader and more diverse product range but also fosters trust, community engagement, and economic empowerment for small retailers. KiranaPro simplifies the digital transition for small businesses with a user-friendly, AI-driven interface, further bridging the gap between traditional retail and technology-led commerce."

Deepak Ravindran, Co-Founder & CEO, KiranaPro says: "Being directly integrated into the nationwide ONDC network positions us to rapidly scale our operations and onboard lakhs of kirana stores across various states," says "KiranaPro’s voice-integrated platform will be a game-changer, particularly for customers in smaller cities and towns, enabling them to access services traditionally reserved for larger markets. We are now poised to empower neighbourhood stores with cutting-edge technology, enabling them to generate significant revenue and compete with much larger players in the market."

T Koshy, MD & CEO, ONDC adds: "The team at KiranaPro has shown remarkable commitment in leveraging the power of AI to build a platform that seamlessly taps into the ONDC network, connecting customers to millions of small vendors across the country. The future of India’s digital economy lies in the creation of interoperable, scalable networks that foster inclusive participation rather than in closed ecosystems. KiranaPro stands as a prime example of how innovative solutions can be developed within such a network, paving the way for a more connected and accessible future."

KiranaPro aims to onboard over one million vendors by the end of the year, making 10-minute grocery deliveries possible in cities across India, the release added.
