Jammu and Kashmir Trade Promotion Organisation (JKTPO) under the guidance of Commissioner Secretary, Industries & Commerce and under the supervision of Managing Director JKTPO today organized a successful onboarding drive on Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) Network at JKEDI, Pampore. This initiative, in collaboration with ONDC Seller Partner MyStore, aims to facilitate the onboarding of local sellers, artisans, retailers, small merchants, and traders onto the ONDC platform to gain access to a vast digital marketplace.
More than 75 local entrepreneurs participated in the drive and 30 were registered on-spot from various sectors viz Handloom & Handicrafts, Agro and Food, manufacturing sector, etc.
JKTPO is continuously organising such activities including onboarding on e-commerce platforms to enable local entrepreneurs to showcase and sell their products across world.
The onboarding drive is a significant milestone in the continued efforts of JKTPO and ONDC to foster economic growth and promote digital commerce in Jammu and Kashmir. It builds upon the success of the ONDC awareness workshops that have been conducted since September 2022 in both divisions of Jammu and Kashmir. These workshops have helped create awareness about the benefits of leveraging the the power of democratisation of e-commerce through ONDC and expand their reach beyond traditional boundaries.
Managing Director, JKTPO expressed his optimism about the initiative "We have collaborated with ONDC to empower local entrepreneurs by providing them the platform to thrive in the digital era and unlocking their full potential through e-commerce revolution." He added that in new Foreign Trade Policy also e-commerce has been given special focus.
Earlier Vice President, Sales, MyStore highlighted various benefits of onboarding on ONDC platform and explained complete process of onboarding.
