In an inspiring move to empower women in the logistics sector, Ecom Express Limited, India’s only pure-play B2C e-commerce logistics solutions provider, is actively championing its female delivery partners during the peak festive delivery season. With a significant surge in demand for timely deliveries, Ecom Express is shining a spotlight on the crucial role women play in logistics, reinforcing its commitment to gender inclusivity and diversity within the industry.

Our female delivery partners, along with in-office employees, are proving their excellence in this dynamic field. We are committed to supporting them by ensuring safe and empowering work environments where they can thrive.”
Highlighting success stories exemplifies the potential of women in logistics. Mandengbam Kananbala Devi impressively delivered over 400 parcels in just three days, showcasing exceptional dedication. Similarly, Surya T., who transitioned from a cashier to a delivery staff member, is a testament to growth and determination. With support from her supervisors, Surya now consistently completes 100 to 130 deliveries daily, significantly increasing her monthly earnings.
