Beckn Protocol
Technology, Information and Internet
Open protocol for decentralized digital economy
About us
Beckn Protocol is an open specification that creates a common language for interoperability among different digital platforms and networks for facilitating economic transactions, similar to HTTP for the internet or SMTP for emails. Modelled on the design principles of openness, interoperability, and decentralization, the technology and sector-agnostic protocol enables all aspects of digital commerce transactions, from discovery to post-fulfilment activities. Beckn is an effort to make the Internet a ‘small-business-friendly’ place. Since the protocol eliminates the need for demand-side and supply-side actors to be on the same platform, it expands the pool of prospective market players that can be reached for both sides. It allows for open commerce sans the big gatekeepers, thereby democratising digital commerce. The Foundation for Interoperability in Digital Economy (FIDE) is the author of the open protocol and it engages with businesses, governments/policy makers and civil societies across the world to drive the adoption of the Beckn Protocol as a digital public good (DPG) to create inclusive digital commerce ecosystems.

Snapshots from The India Advantage Summit [TIA Summit] where Beckn volunteers shared open network insights to drive sustainable economic growth and achieve smarter, greener outcomes. A big thank you to Jose Jacob Kalayil and his team for having us! It was a fantastic experience contributing to these impactful discussions. Here’s a recap of what our torchbearers had to say: 🌱 Bharath Shankar Ganapathy explored the concept of an interoperable grid to empower farmers and combat climate change. He highlighted the VISTAAR and OpenAgriNet (OAN) initiatives—advancing farmer support and promoting efficient, sustainable farming practices. 🚉 Anirban Sinha spotlighted the shift from platforms to protocols in mobility services, using Namma Yatri as a key example. He emphasized how this shift is enabling collaborative, sustainable urban transportation systems that prioritize inclusivity and seamless user experiences. 📦 Sindhuja Sampath Kumar underscored the need for standardization and interoperability in the logistics sector to tackle the rapid growth of e-commerce. She stressed the importance of interconnected systems in modernizing supply chains and fostering eco-friendly, efficient logistics operations. 🔐 Ravi Prakash discussed how layered digital infrastructure can create a secure ecosystem for a decentralized digital economy. He emphasized the role of open standards and the move from domain-specific to domain-agnostic design as drivers of innovation. We had a great time engaging in inspiring conversations with other participants and exchanging ideas for collaboration across sectors. 🙌 FIDE

We have seen the impact of network thinking on e-commerce (ONDC) and mobility (Namma Yatri). But what about energy? In this episode with Nikhil Kamath, Nandan Nilekani shares his vision for the Unified Energy Interface #UEI — an open network approach to energy transactions, powered by a universal protocol like Beckn. Why does this matter? Because UEI could be the key to a unified future for clean energy, bridging all the scattered and isolated energy efforts into a common fabric or an interconnected mesh. This cohesive network can then create ripple effects that can make green energy a norm, boosting climate action in ways we have not seen before. What does this look like in real life? UEI allows energy trading of all kinds, in all directions. For example, someone with solar panels on their roof can sell extra energy back to the grid, or even trade it with their neighbours who can use it to charge their EV. It can also let you source green energy from EV charging operators! Best of all, the network is open to everyone. Individuals, small prosumers, local distribution companies and major organizations can all get involved and trade energy — creating new solutions like idle battery monetization. Early innovators like Pulse Energy are already making unified EV charging a reality through UEI in India. Plus, the Ministry of Power has recognized UEI as one of the recommended protocols for energy interoperability. We would love for you to be a part of this journey.

Looking at Beckn from the lens of curiosity and mastery. We ❤️ this.
Another fanboy moment! Moments like these are rare where you are jamming with the legend Don Norman on Beckn Protocol. I loved the fast and engaging cycles of curiosity, inquiry, and evaluation of the idea. I love it when you do not explain the concept but let the minds arrive at it from different angles, with one new insight at a time. As Don would perhaps put it, there is much more to do, fail, and learn. Thank you, Sanjay Purohit and Centre for Exponential Change, for the opportunity. 🙏

Beckn Protocol reposted this
Ministry of Power just released their latest EV charging guidelines today. One of the interoperability protocols suggested by MoP is Unified Energy Interface (UEI) 🚀🚀🚀🚀 Getting MoP to recommend UEI alongside existing interoperability protocols is a testament to all the hard work everyone at Unified Energy Interface Alliance has done over the past two years. Now to show the results.

This time it was Nandan on the WTF Podcast, and we loved how Nikhil’s curiosity drove the questions that matter to all of us. What is Beckn? FIDE? What is a protocol? How's Beckn related to ONDC? (43:00 minutes onwards) They covered it all — from the foundations of Aadhaar and UPI to the genesis of Beckn and open networks. This episode is packed with insights into all the digital changes we see in the country today and what’s to come.
