Vibhor has played a pivotal role in shaping ONDC’s operational framework, and the Board has full confidence in his ability to lead the organisation during this important transition.”

His deep experience and unwavering commitment to ONDC’s mission make him well-suited to guide the organization forward as we continue to build an inclusive and open digital commerce ecosystem. We also acknowledge the Executive Committee for helping ensure continuity during the recent transition period."

I am committed to working closely with the Board, stakeholders , and the broader ecosystem to ensure continuity and momentum as we deliver on our mission to democratise digital commerce in India.”
