ONDC CEO T. Koshy stated that DigiHaat will act as a model for innovation and inclusivity, while creating market access for India’s smallest sellers. The app is expected to boost adoption of the ONDC framework, which aims to end platform monopolies and promote fair digital commerce.

With a growing presence of sellers and product categories, DigiHaat is positioned as a reliable, ethical, and scalable alternative to private e-commerce apps.
