The ONDC Network has recorded immense growth in the last year.

* Accurate query interpretation that enhances search results' relevance by understanding customer intent.
* Tailored product recommendations that provide personalized product suggestions to meet customers' needs and enhance their shopping experience.
* Quick results for queries that reduce search time and eventually lead to more exploring and bigger ticket sizes.
* Optimizing search performance to interpret complex queries and offer fast and efficient search results that drive better traffic.
* Higher conversion rates by ensuring customers find exactly what they are looking for with minimal effort.

Koshy, CEO, ONDC, emphasized the crucial role of AI-powered semantic search for the ONDC Network conversions, saying, "As the open network experiences exponential growth, the ability to precisely match buyers with the right seller offerings becomes crucial.
