A community led development formed to enable a global open digital commerce infrastructure.
Open networks will naturally encourage innovations, integrate applications and platforms, trigger opportunities for every size and form of businesses, create seamless experiences and trigger unimagined possibilities. This is not a commerce under transition. This is commerce being transformed at scale. This is the beginning of a big shift for each and every one of us, who, in one way or the other, are part of the e-commerce world.
Beckn is a decentralized open protocol, aiming to democratize and unify the digital commerce ecosystem.
Beckn protocol, as a set of lightweight open interoperable specifications, unbundles the proposition of a central platform marketplace and allow buyers and sellers the freedom to undertake wholesome commerce transactions between each other through any digital application of their choice, with no controlling platform in the middle.
In short, beckn protocol will enable the participants - customers, applications, businesses and governments, a complete freedom to do business in an open network, without the control and command of an intermediary platform or application.

We can work closely with various stakeholders in promoting the adoption of an open but integrated digital commerce service.
Help consumers with the freedom to discover commerce services including day-to-day services like mobility, food and grocery delivery in any consumer-facing application of choice that is beckn-enabled, thereby, making it a one-stop place for availing commerce services
Help to extend the reach of market players beyond self-owned platforms to new customers in a universal open marketplace without compromising on the experience
Enable the governments to promote an interoperable, open ecosystem of applications to connect consumers to providers, thus, maximizing value to all stakeholders without being monopolized by one or two players
We encourage diverse stakeholders, without being bound by domain or industry, to facilitate growth through creation and adoption of interoperable open protocols for commerce.
