[C4GT] Develop UI + Backend SDK Framework for BAPs

[ravi-prakash-v]

Project Details

Beckn protocol is a set of open specifications aimed to create a common language, that is machine-readable and enables interoperability for economic transactions between disparate platforms of any size and form - be it a cab reservation, or booking a stay, or confirming a doctor’s appointment, and many more. Thus it enables the creation of inclusive and equitable open networks offering a multitude of choices to the citizens, while at the same time negating the dependence on intermediaries to freely operate and generate economic transactions of value. It is akin to what SMTP is to E-mails or HTTP is to the Internet.

Since its inception in 2019 as a set of specifications, Beckn has been adopted across geographies in sectors such as mobility, retail, hyperlocal logistics, healthcare, skills, agriculture sectors, etc. Few notable examples of open networks built on the Beckn protocol are Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC), Namma Yatri at Bangalore, Kochi Open Mobility Network (KOMN), Unified Health Interface (UHI), etc.

The BAP Boilerplate SDK is a generic full-stack NodeJS + React-native SDK that allows developers to quickly beckn-enabled consumer-facing applications (BAPs) via a boilerplate codebase. This consists of a base source-code when complied generates a basic BAP application with all APIs and screens for each state that is encountered during a typical order lifecycle like disovery, ordering, fulfillment and post-fulfillment. Developers can then modify these screens according various UI flowspertaining to different sector-specific experiences like mobility, health, retail, etc
