Individuals, consumers, businesses, platforms and governments — beckn builds for everyone
A community-driven solution to closed ecosystems and platform-dependent markets, beckn levels the playing field for everyone. Consumers benefit from greater choice, sellers from wider markets, organizations and governments from more effective digital services.
Our core
values
Beckn is built on five foundational principles that guide our vision toward an open, interconnected digital landscape.
Be a force multiplier
Beckn increases the inherent value of digital ecosystems by creating open digital playgrounds that restore the agency and potential of individuals, businesses and governments to build and scale on their own terms.
Inclusive by design
Small or big, local, global or glocal—beckn’s design is platform-agnostic, enabling equal access for participants of all sizes, ultimately expanding market opportunities across sectors, regions and demographics.
Leave a minimal footprint
Beckn is a location-aware protocol with lightweight specifications that allow participants to build and operate seamless digital experiences without extracting power for itself in the process.
Stay future flexible
Beckn is built to evolve, using semantic interoperability to enable the quick integration of any new or emerging technology into existing ecosystems, platforms or networks.
Be movement weavers
Beckn champions collaboration and innovation, fostering a vibrant community where every participant is a network weaver, interlacing individual and collective contributions into a rich tapestry of open networks.
