As the Technology Service Partner for ONDC, Adya.ai is at the forefront of a monumental implementation across key sectors such as retail, mobility, F&B, logistics, credit, insurance, and finance. The company envisions a connected, inclusive digital ecosystem that redefines commerce in India.

Adya.ai’s Founder, Shayak Mazumder, commented: “ONDC stands as a testament to India's digital prowess, following the impactful implementation of the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) and Aadhaar. We at Adya.ai are thrilled to harness our technological expertise to contribute to this transformative force, fostering a digital ecosystem that is not only inclusive but truly transformative for India's economy."

IAN is proud to lead this funding round, and we look forward to supporting Adya.ai on their journey towards greater success."

Uday Chatterjee, Angel Investor & Business Leader, said “Adya.ai is a pioneer providing ONDC ATMA (Atmanirbhar Technology Marketplace by Adya.ai) - an end to end solution built on the ONDC protocol across four domains (retail, logistics, financial services and mobility) in the form of a self serve app studio that will enable enterprises to create their own Apps on ONDC, customise design and UX, manage cloud, security and access controls, integrate inside their existing apps and connect to their existing tech stack.

ONDC is the next master protocol or Digital Public Good which is likely to see explosive growth in the next few years. Adya.ai is ideally positioned to benefit from this growth and has already onboarded a number of public and private sector banks, fintechs and large consumer goods companies as their clients. We are delighted to support Adya.ai in the current fundraising and we hope to energise India's digital story through Adya.ai.”
