India’s logistics sector has always had a scale problem — not a lack of demand, but a maze of fragmented systems that make it hard for merchants and delivery fleets to actually connect. Bounce just took a step toward fixing that, joining ONDC’s Open Delivery Protocol to bring its electric mobility network into the country’s open commerce infrastructure.
The partnership pairs Bounce’s vertically integrated EV manufacturing and fleet operations with ONDC’s interoperable logistics rails — letting merchants tap into a growing pool of delivery providers through a single integration, rather than negotiating one-off partnerships with each.

What ONDC’s Open Delivery Protocol Actually Solves
Merchants have long struggled to access reliable third-party delivery at scale, while smaller fleet operators face barriers to technology and steady demand. ONDC’s protocol addresses both sides at once, letting logistics providers of any size compete on equal footing while cutting down the integration complexity that’s historically locked out smaller players.
| Metric | Current Scale |
|---|---|
| Logistics service providers on ONDC | 50+ |
| Small fleet operators | 30+ |
| Cities covered | 150+ |
| Merchants using ONDC Logistics | 80,000+ |
| Delivery partners on network | 150,000+ |
| Fastest delivery window (via FIFO) | Under 15 minutes |
Where Bounce Fits In
Through its ONDC-enabled platform, Bounce Task, the company brings something distinct to the table: in-house EV manufacturing paired directly with fleet operations. That combination lets it optimize vehicle performance and costs across the entire delivery lifecycle, rather than just managing a fleet built by someone else.
Bounce currently supports over 12,000 delivery executives across Bengaluru, Hyderabad, NCR, and Mumbai, and reached group-level profitability in March 2026. Its Bhiwadi manufacturing facility has an annual capacity of 200,000 units — infrastructure built specifically to scale alongside rider demand.
ONDC’s COO Rohit Lohia framed the value simply: merchants integrate once and gain access to a growing logistics network, while fleet operators like Bounce get access to demand without needing separate deals with every player. Bounce’s CEO Vivekananda Hallekere echoed this, describing the goal as connecting an entire manufacturer-to-gig-worker pipeline to an open network rather than a closed one.
