Logistics and supply chain services provider Delhivery has launched its fifth all-women hub in Shahdara, Delhi, marking another important milestone in the company’s diversity and inclusion initiative.
The new 1,600 sqft facility represents Delhivery‘s strategic approach to increasing women’s participation in the logistics sector. Employing 25 women, the hub demonstrates the company’s commitment to creating inclusive workplace environments and processing over 10,000 parcels daily.
Delhivery’s all-women hubs, now spanning locations including Moga, Sikar, Satna, Mayapuri, and Shahdara, have already demonstrated remarkable outcomes, the company said in a statement.
“The launch of our Shahdara hub represents a significant milestone in transforming the logistics industry. This hub exemplifies our dedication to skill development, workplace safety, and progressive policies that empower women’s professional growth,” Suraj Saharan, Chief People Officer and Co-founder, Delhivery, said.
The company further stated that women workers have shown 20 per cent lower attrition rates, higher productivity attributed to traits of integrity, discipline, and empathy, and an 8 per cent higher rate of 100 per cent attendance compared to male workers.
“With women representing only 15 per cent of logistics employees nationwide, Delhivery’s strategic four-pillar approach—encompassing women-friendly infrastructure, inclusive hiring practices, psychologically safe workplace culture, and robust career advancement opportunities—is crucial to transforming industry dynamics,” the company added.
