Beckn Protocol: A decentralized approach to digital commerce in India

In today’s digital economy, a single company functions as an intermediary or aggregator, uniting service providers and consumers on a website or app. This makes it convenient for people to find products or services, place orders, receive deliveries, and get support, all in one place. While this approach has its benefits, does it really work for everyone? What about your next-door Kirana store or vegetable vendor?
Can all the businesses, regardless of their size, and all the consumers, regardless of the app they use, find and connect with each other on these centralized platforms?
It’s time we were introduced to a new way of thinking about digital transactions.
As Sujith Nair, CEO of FIDE says, yes the current centralized model of commerce works. But what if we could redistribute the opportunity, cost and risk across a network of platforms?
The vision is to create an interconnected/interoperable network, akin to the principles of the internet, where consumers can access any platform and seamlessly find a product or service, place orders, and interact with service providers, regardless of the platform they are on.
This decentralized approach, like the one enabled by Beckn Protocol, emphasizes openness, inclusivity, and a level playing field for all participants. By embracing these first principles, the protocol empowers consumers and service providers alike, breaking down barriers and unleashing the true potential of an open network.
Just as the railroads once revolutionized transportation and commerce, Beckn Protocol represents a new frontier in how technology can shape the way we interact and transact, empowering us to create a world where opportunity and discovery are no longer confined to a single platform, but freely accessible across the digital lands.
Let’s move to a more accessible and equitable digital future. Join us on this transformation, find the community on Discord! bit.ly/bocWebInvite
