A few dominant distributors and manual processes have resulted in uncompetitive terms for smaller sellers which has resulted in reduced choice for buyers

  • Factors holding back participation in digital commerce

Limited choice for sellers

Oligopoly in digital commerce reduces negotiating power of sellers

High cost of product delivery excludes buyers at the lower end of the economic pyramid

Manual processed leads to high cost of delivery and hence makes sachet products unviable to deliver. This drives financial exclusion

Current commission structure

Exorbitant commission demanded by online marketplace makes it difficult for small sellers to compete and tap into digital marketplaces

Discoverability of sellers

Discoverability of sellers is based on margins as well as based on the money spent on advertisements – hence, it becomes difficult for small firms to be discovered by buyers

In the context of financial services Sellers refer to Banks, NBFCs, AMCs, Insurers

High technology costs due to custom integrations

Customer integration requirements between businesses leads to high technology cost and increased time to market

Manual processes and non-standard API integrations have restricted access to markets

  • Challenges preventing financial institutions from accessing untapped markets

Manual processes drives up customer acquisition costs

A completely digitized product and service delivery is the only way to deliver financial products at scale

Lack of high provenance third party data to serve the right product to the right customer

High customer servicing costs

Protocol standardization resulting in easier integration

API standardization reduces custom integration costs
