GURUGRAM, India , July 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --  Mystore^®, the first ONDC-connected marketplace, bolsters its offerings by unveiling AI-powered Semantic Search designed to enhance seller conversions through improved buying experience. This latest addition to Mystore's offerings for ONDC Network sellers and buyers aims to provide granular search results through exact query interpretation. By understanding the context of search queries, AI-based semantic search delivers a more intuitive and satisfying shopping experience, encouraging repeat visits and purchases.

The ONDC Network has recorded immense growth in the last year. With thousands of sellers joining the open network each day, it becomes imperative to have a system that makes their products visible, discoverable, and relevant to the search queries posted by the buyers. Amidst the huge catalogs posted by other sellers, having discoverability for all related search queries is crucial for business growth through the Open Network for Digital Commerce.

By enabling AI-powered semantic search on its ONDC Network Buyer App, Mystore has eliminated the guesswork, providing buyers with accurate and relevant product matches. This improvement enhances product visibility and fosters higher engagement and conversion rates, creating a win-win situation for the sellers and the buyers in the rapidly scaling ONDC Network ecosystem.

Mystore's Semantic Search technology is designed to benefit sellers and buyers by:

• 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.

Mr. T. 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. Mystore's latest offering of integrating AI-powered semantic search on the ONDC Network is thus a pivotal addition. This technology not only enhances the shopping experience but also levels the playing field for sellers of all sizes, enabling them to compete purely based on the relevance and quality of their products/services."

"Google Cloud's Vertex AI is enabling high quality searches for Mystore and ONDC enabling better discoverability and thereby enabling buyers and sellers to seamlessly connect on the platform," said Bikram Singh Bedi, Vice President and Country MD at Google Cloud India.
