Has ONDC Managed To Take On Amazon And Flipkart?

Exactly a year ago, ONDC, the government-backed, open-source commerce network, was launched nationwide. Its twofold purpose: to onboard small sellers who couldn’t afford to be on the platforms of e-commerce giants; and to challenge the supremacy of these giants. The platform has quietly been achieving one milestone after another, spreading to more than 200 pin codes, adding 2 lakh sellers, and attracting prominent names such as Paytm and Ola. But is this enough? What are the challenges?
