Digiready Certification Portal For MSMEs Unveiled

New Delhi, Feb 9 (KNN) The Quality Council of India (QCI) and Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) have collaborated to introduce the DigiReady Certification (DRC) portal.

This initiative aims to assess and certify the digital readiness of MSME entities, empowering them to seamlessly transition into sellers on the ONDC platform.

It also resonates with the objectives of the recently launched FIRST (Forum for Internet Retailers, Sellers, and Traders).”
