ONDC Appoints Vibhor Jain as CEO

The Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) has announced the appointment of Vibhor Jain as its Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, effective from April 7, 2026. Jain previously held the position of Chief Operating Officer and had assumed the role of acting CEO during a recent leadership transition.

This new appointment signifies a move towards a dedicated leadership framework for ONDC as it aims to broaden its open digital commerce network. This initiative, which is backed by the government, facilitates transactions between buyers and sellers across various platforms through a seamless interoperable network.

Strengthening Leadership at ONDC

Jain’s promotion occurs at a pivotal time as the organization seeks to enhance its operational effectiveness and develop its ecosystem across multiple sectors. Previously, in April of last year, ONDC’s managing director and CEO Thampy Koshya stepped down after completing a three-year term. Following this change, two months later, independent director Arvind Gupta also resigned from his position.
