Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Congratulations, Pramod Vermaji ,

 


 

Context :

Just came across Pramod’s following post on Linkedin :

  Historical milestone for the creation of a decentralized interoperable commerce network enabled by #opensource #becknprotocol

India is pushing the boundaries in empowering individuals and micro enterprises through ownership of data, credentials and ability to transact without large intermediaries.


Description: Open Network For Digital Commerce

Open Network For Digital Commerce210 followers5d • Edited • 5 days ago

Follow

History has been created today on #ONDC!   



At 4:18 am this morning, we recorded the first-ever Multi-domain cascaded round-trip transaction (simulated) as part of the ongoing #ONDCHackathon #ONDCIntegrationsprint.  



The order was placed from a buyer app on #ONDC retail network, one of the seller platforms, Falcons AI (GrowthFalcons), picked up the order (first round trip transaction, and in retail Domain), and then the seller platform placed a delivery pickup order on #ONDC logistics network.



It was accepted up by a logistics platform, Good Box Delivery Goodbox (second round-trip transaction, and in logistics domain). For the same order ID, we thus achieved a cascaded Multi-domain transaction, on one protocol in the "network of networks" model.



This is the first of its kind ever on an open network using an open protocol.


Imagine the possibilities that we can collectively achieve and show the world how India is creating new frontiers in digital commerce.

 

My Take :


Ø  Birth of a David ?.........................[ 27 Oct 2021 ]


Extract :

CongratulationsShri Piyush Goyalji,

 

Imagine a buyer not having to go from one portal to another !


And the ONDC Network enabling him to buy goods / services from ANY firm, without logging to any other e-commerce portal !


This innovation will break up the oligopoly ( approaching “ near monopoly “ ) of existing e-Com giants


While wishing ONDC all success, I urge the HR Minister / Labour Minister to “ copy “ this concept as far as

 “ Online Job Portals “ are concerned

 

[ A ]………. JOB-SEEKERS


At present, millions of “ Job-seekers “ have to :


           Ø  Submit their resumes on umpteen job-portals, one by one ( by filling in

               almost identical Resume submit forms ), and keep track of umpteen

               passwords

              

           Ø  Search jobs ( much like searching for products / services on e-Com portals

               ), by login to each job-portal  separately.

              

Ø         >   Apply Online “ , if and when they find a suitable job

 

         [ B ]………. EMPLOYERS


The process for “ Employers / Recruiters “ is similar :


          Ø  They must buy a quarterly / annual “ subscription “ from each job-portals


          Ø  They must “ post “ their  same / identical “ job advertisement “, one by

               one, on each job-portal

          Ø  To “ search “ suitable candidates, they must login and conduct “ Resume

              Search “ on each portal

 

It is worth remembering that :


         Ø  Each job portal acts as a “ Silo “, holding close to its chest , millions of

             resumes / vacancies

         Ø  A huge number of Employers and Jobseekers registered on these portals are

             the SAME

         Ø  This means a lot of “ Duplicate Databases “ ( of Buyers and Sellers )


THE JOB-PORTAL SCENARIO DESCRIBED ABOVE, IS QUITE SIMILAR TO THE SITUATION PREVAILING WITH E-COM PORTALS


This lead me to suggest :

 World Wide Work Federation ( W3F ) ………………………………………..  [ 07 Oct 2010 ]


===================================================


Dear Shri Pramod Vermaji,


Please consider following :

“ Even though there is a high probability that , somewhere there exists a job ( vacancy ) for every job-seeker, posted on one of the thousands of job-portals, it is extremely difficult – and time consuming – for a job-seeker to find it “


I urge you to consider utilizing the ONDC framework / platform, to coalesce / merge, “ Jobs Posted “ databases of ALL the job-portals ( which are, undoubtedly, the earliest manifestation of e-Commerce ), as suggested above
