Over the years, Amazon has invested in deepening its presence in Northeast India and now has close to 70 Amazon-owned and Partner Delivery Stations that ensure direct delivery presence in close to 400 pin codes across the region. Now, Amazon India launched Northeast region’s first all-women delivery station in Mizoram, that will be operated by its Delivery Service Partner (DSP).
The newly launched station is situated in Champhai, close to the India-Myanmar border. The station is run by Christina Rindiki, an entrepreneur who started a last mile delivery company called Servico with Amazon’s DSP program. This station will help deliver Amazon packages to customers in neighboring areas like Kanan, Kahrawt, Venglai, Vengthlang, Vengsang, and Bethel among others.
The launch of this additional delivery station in the North-east region not only enables Amazon India to further deepen its reach to customers, but also provides growth and work opportunities for Delivery Service Partners and the associates they hire. The launch of this all-women delivery station complements Amazon India’s efforts to increase the opportunities for women in the logistics sector whilst strengthening its Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity (DE&I) commitment. The company already has five all-women delivery stations operated by partners, two in Kerala and one each in Tamil Nadu, Gujarat and Andhra Pradesh.
