New Delhi, June 2: Ride-hailing platform Uber has announced a strategic investment in Open Network for Digital Commerce, reinforcing its commitment to India’s rapidly expanding digital public infrastructure and open-network ecosystem.
The investment marks one of the earliest instances of a global technology company backing ONDC, a government-backed initiative designed to create an open, interoperable network for digital commerce and broaden access to online marketplaces.
Uber said the partnership aligns with its long-term vision of building mobility and logistics services on open digital networks, enabling greater innovation, accessibility, and efficiency for businesses and consumers alike.
The move is expected to support the growth of India’s digital economy by encouraging collaboration across platforms and fostering a more inclusive ecosystem for commerce, transportation, and delivery services.
Industry observers view the investment as a significant endorsement of India’s Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) framework, which has emerged as a global model for enabling digital transformation at scale.
By investing in ONDC, Uber aims to deepen its engagement with India’s technology ecosystem while contributing to the development of open, interoperable platforms that can drive innovation and create new opportunities for businesses, service providers, and consumers.
The development highlights growing confidence among global technology firms in India’s digital infrastructure and its potential to reshape the future of commerce and mobility.
