With close to 60 Amazon-owned and Delivery Service Partner stations in the region, Amazon India has added several new pin codes to its delivery footprint ahead of the festive season this year, including remote towns such as Champhai, Kolasib, Lumding, Pasighat and Mokokchung. With these, the company expanded its delivery network in the 8 states of North East India. Amazon has partnered with local entrepreneurs as part of the Delivery Service Partner program, enabling these small businesses with growth opportunities and helping Amazon India to penetrate into tier 3 and tier 4 locations in the North East with its own delivery services.
Amazon India’s expanded reach will provide a seamless shopping experience to customers in towns such as Champhai that acts as the main business corridor for Eastern India and neighbouring countries in the area. The expansion also includes regions across varying topographies, such as Tura valley and the urban centre of Mokokchung. Amazon India has implemented a series of preventative health measures for employees, associates and partners at its sites.
Amazon India has also strengthened its delivery programs with its flagship ‘I Have Space’ (IHS) program, now comprising of more than 28,000 neighbourhood and Kirana in close to 350 cities. Last month, the company added about 200 Amazon operated and Delivery Service Partner stations, with a delivery network of 1700 stations across the country.
