Flipkart, a leading e-commerce marketplace, has tied up with dPronto, a start-up in the last-mile delivery space, to leverage the latter’s solutions in last-mile delivery across India.
This tie-up serves a dual objective for Flipkart, namely, offering dignified jobs to underprivileged youth in rural areas, through dPronto and its group company, Empower Pragati’s network.
Empower Pragati provides an uninterrupted supply of freshly trained logistics staff across 600 towns of India. These youth are from economically weaker sections of society and by gaining respectable employment in logistics with a definitive skill set which brings them a steady income, they are able to transform their own and their family’s lives.
