Giving more insights, Suraj Saharan, Chief People Officer and Co-founder at Delhivery, said, “We are very excited with the launch of this all-women hub at Sikar. This is yet another step towards our objective of growing female participation in our industry. Delhivery is proud of what our women colleagues are able to accomplish when given the right platform. They not only have a great impact but also contribute towards lower attrition and absenteeism while directly boosting our efficiency and productivity. We are committed to providing a favourable and safe work environment, skills training, and the right HR policies to enable our women colleagues to succeed.
By fostering diversity within the company, Delhivery aspires to significantly boost the number of women enrolled in and empowered in the logistics sector. The company has already successfully scaled women’s participation at its gateways across locations, including in Tauru, Haryana, and Bhiwandi, Mumbai. Women now make up 66% of the workforce at the Tauru processing center. Building on these successes, many more such hubs are in the pipeline.
“In the last one year we have accelerated the recruitment of women in our team, with their headcount increasing by ~60% in FY24 as compared to ~15% in FY23,” Mr. Saharan further added.
