Shiprocket is the first inter-city logistics provider to plug into the ONDC network, enabling sellers from all segments to ship products to cities and towns across India.
Shiprocket will enable sellers on ONDC to select a trusted delivery partner to pick up their products from 24000 pincodes across India, and enable them to ship them to consumers through the length and breadth of the country, with both cash-on-delivery as well prepaid shipping facilities available to the customers.
The development expands ONDC’s footprint from hyperlocal logistics to inter-city shipping across India, enabling products to be picked up and delivered from all corners of India, while also giving small retailers and sellers the opportunity to choose the most viable delivery partner for each order and ensure high-quality delivery service to their customers.
Shiprocket’s unique model also unlocks the opportunity for local logistics providers to integrate with India’s eCommerce ecosystem easily. Small and medium logistics providers, operating in small towns and cities, can now offer their services through Shiprocket on the ONDC network.
Commenting on this, Mr Saahil Goel, Co-Founder, Shiprocket said, “We are really excited to partner with ONDC as the first inter-city logistics provider to enable sellers from all segments to ship products to cities and towns across India.

Our mission is to reach every independent retailer in the country and enable them with state of the art technology that can help them better manage their delivery and customer experience and be able to compete on even keel with the larger platforms that are out there. We are truly democratizing logistics by offering data-backed real-time courier recommendations, software to manage operations end to end, same day/next day delivery capabilities as well as warehousing capabilities across 45 locations Pan India. .”
