“Over the years, we’ve seen how our women colleagues strengthen operations through discipline, consistency, and accountability. Their contributions improve service quality and add significant value to our operations.”
Delhivery’s broader diversity strategy spans four areas—purpose-built infrastructure, inclusive hiring, workplace culture, and career development. The company said women associates record 20% lower attrition, higher productivity, and 8% better attendance compared to male counterparts, reinforcing diversity as both a social and business imperative.
With the Kochi launch, Delhivery aims to further expand opportunities for women in logistics and build a more inclusive last-mile delivery ecosystem.
