Users on the platform will only increase, even if not at par with other e-commerce platforms. However, amid this, the concerns regarding the approach of ONDC towards data privacy, particularly in the absence of a comprehensive data protection bill in the country remain. Data Privacy concerns “E-commerce platforms have a multitude of data points and they’re used for competitive pricing, recommendations, etc. Our concerns essentially stem from the fact that there is an absence of the data protection bill in the country,” Tejasi Panjiar, associate policy counsel, Inter...

The food delivery space in India has seen many brands with deep pockets come and perish, and they all had one thing in common: they were fighting in the same category with little to no differentiation in offerings when compared to the two primary players in the business, Swiggy and Zomato. The list of those who may have bitten off more than they could chew include Foodpanda and Tiny Owl. Even a large player like Amazon Food shut its food delivery operations in India while Uber Eats sold its business to Zomato and Scootsy to Swiggy.

Gauging by the inbound queries, Kotgire and Lande told Moneycontrol that they will add 3,000-5,000 restaurants per month, including the likes of McDonalds, KFC and several others as they look to expand in Tier 1 ci...
