Logistics service provider Delhivery has rolled out a 100% women-led hub in Sikar, Rajasthan. The entire operations of this Sikar hub will be managed by an all-female staff. The announcement comes in for promoting greater enrollment and empowerment of women in the logistics industry and also advancing overall diversity within the company. The company had earlier successfully scaled women’s participation at its gateways in Tauru (Haryana), Bhiwandi (Mumbai), and other locations in India. Women already constitute 66% of the total workforce at the processing center in Tauru. Many more such all-women hubs are in the pipeline, the company said in a release today.
In the last one year, Delhivery has accelerated the recruitment of women in their team, with their headcount increasing by ~60% in FY24 as compared to ~15% in FY23. At Sikar, women will be responsible for all functions, including administration, operations, and security. Delhivery provides diversified opportunities for women even in non-traditional roles like driving batteryoperated pallet trucks (BOPTs), loading and unloading trucks.
