“In partnering with Cybrilla to join ONDC, PGIM India is unlocking new opportunities to democratize investing—beyond traditional boundaries and limitations,” said Abhishek Tiwari, Chief Executive Officer, PGIM India Asset Management Private. “This initiative underscores our belief that investment opportunities should be accessible, inclusive, and equitable for every Indian, irrespective of geography or socioeconomic status.”
“PGIM India’s integration on the ONDC Network shows how financial products can be reimagined when distribution is no longer bound by cost or geography. Through ONDC, mutual funds can now reach investors via digital-first platforms in innovative formats like daily SIPs, making investing not just simpler, but accessible even in smaller towns and rural India. This is the true promise of open networks: practical, inclusive solutions that expand the circle of financial participation,” said Vibhor Jain, Acting CEO and COO at ONDC.
“ONDC Network represents a new chapter for India’s financial ecosystem, and Cybrilla is proud to power this shift with PGIM India AMC. This integration means that a shopkeeper in a small town and a digital-first saver in a metro can both access mutual fund products at the same cost and with the same ease. That’s the kind of inclusion Cybrilla is building for the future of investing,” said Anchal Jajodia, Director of Cybrilla.ONDC, an initiative spearheaded by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India, fosters an open, interoperable model for digital commerce, geared towards inclusivity and wide-ranging participation.Also Read | Best large & mid cap funds to invest in September 2025
