Which two tech giants have partnered with ONDC to enhance its reach to small businesses?

Ministry of commerce-backed e-commerce protocol Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) has entered into two separate partnerships with Google and Meta, to expand its outreach to small businesses through Google Maps and WhatsApp. With Google Maps, ONDC is onboarding the Kochi Metro as a mobility service on its platform. Users can make ticket bookings for the metro service directly in Google Maps, through the ONDC framework. For Meta, ONDC is being integrated into WhatsApp, where small businesses will be able to streamline their onboarding process on the framework.
