Innoviti joins ONDC platform to help small sellers accelerate sales through co-promotion opportunities with banks and brands
BENGALURU, India, Aug. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Innoviti - one of India's largest Collaborative Commerce platforms announced today that it has signed up to join the ONDC Network and is in the process of completing the technical integration. Innoviti helps businesses to grow faster with lesser efforts by turning payment transactions into new and unique purchase tools that urge their consumers to buy better products and more products. Innoviti processes digital purchases of Rs. 75,000 Cr. annually from across 2000+ cities.
ONDC Network will help millions of small sellers participate in the digital revolution by connecting them to millions of digital consumers.
