What they do

Bounce manufactures electric two-wheelers and runs its own transport fleet to power final-stage drop-offs for digital commerce

The mobility firm linked its zero-emission fleet with ONDC's open protocol to support interoperable last-mile delivery services

The tie-up gives network merchants access to Bounce's transport fleet while helping the startup scale its active rider base

Bounce teamed up with ONDC to offer cleaner drop-off services across open digital commerce networks.
The collaboration links the startup's battery-powered fleet directly into ONDC's Open Delivery Protocol (a common communication standard for logistics).
Through this integration, the two entities plan to strengthen an interoperable delivery ecosystem for online merchants.
The shared technical system uses automated driver assignment and first-in, first-out order routing to fulfill shipments.
More than 12,000 drivers run on the startup's network throughout Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and the National Capital Region.

The Indian goods movement space is massive but suffers from heavy fragmentation among independent carriers.
With the protocol, businesses need just one technical hookup to tap into dozens of distinct shipping partners.
Rising consumer interest in green transit is expected to fuel steady fleet growth in the coming months.

Bounce operates as an electric mobility business that builds its own vehicles.
The enterprise handles its daily transport operations in-house without leaning on outside fleet contractors.
The broader ONDC logistics web spans more than 50 transport vendors and 60,000 sellers.
Around 150,000 couriers take part in the open network nationwide.
The joint setup handles roughly 12,000 order dispatches on a daily basis.

Bounce expects to expand its active driver base significantly as appetite for clean transportation expands over the coming year.
