T Koshy, MD and CEO of ONDC, said the launch of Khojle.com not only opens avenues for startups but also ensures consumer access to wide choices.

''Working with Jagran New Media strategically aligns perfectly with our mission to expand e-commerce penetration in India, enabling population-scale inclusion of sellers of all types and sizes,'' Koshy said.

Khojle.com is designed to enhance Jagran New Media's user experience by integrating reading and shopping into a single platform, offering a unique combination of news, politics, sports content, along with a diverse shopping experience.
