The Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) is pleased to announce the appointment of Shri Sunil J. Singhi as an Independent Director on its Board. A distinguished figure in India’s trade and welfare ecosystem, Shri Singhi brings with him a wealth of experience in policy-making, business leadership, and community empowerment.
His appointment is poised to further ONDC’s vision of fostering an inclusive, open, and equitable digital commerce environment across the country.
Shri Singhi currently serves as the Chairman of the National Traders’ Welfare Board and has, over the years, played pivotal roles in both government and community-led initiatives. He has previously held significant leadership positions, including Vice Chairman of the Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation and Chairman of the Gujarat Labour Welfare Board, where he successfully enabled welfare access to over 50,000 businesses and industries.
He was also a Director at FCI Aravali Gypsum and Minerals India Limited and notably, the first Jain representative on the National Commission for Minorities, Government of India. With a deep-rooted association with India’s trading communities, Shri Singhi has been a vocal advocate for the rights and welfare of small retailers, distributors, and unorganised workers.
His initiatives have included large-scale implementation of educational, livelihood, skill development, and welfare schemes aimed at transforming the lives of workers and traders, particularly in underserved regions.
As ONDC scales to serve millions of businesses across India, especially those in tier 2 and 3 cities and rural markets, Shri Singhi’s deep connect with grassroots enterprises and his understanding of the nuances of regional commerce will be instrumental. His appointment reaffirms ONDC’s dedication to building a network that is not only technologically robust but also socially responsive and representative of the diverse voices of Bharat.
ONDC looks forward to Shri Singhi’s strategic insights and leadership as the network enters a phase of accelerated expansion, driving deeper adoption, trust, and innovation across India's digital commerce landscape.
