Twenty-three year old Kuddus Ali is doing extra rounds this festive season, making deliveries of Flipkart packets around the city of Golaghat in Assam. With every delivery, he is contributing to his family income which is primarily driven by his father’s vegetable store and is now among the thousands of kirana partners from the state of Assam, joining hands with Flipkart to augment their incomes by delivering smiles to customers at their doorstep.
Kirana partners from across the state are being enabled through this well designed Flipkart kirana delivery program that also imparts digital training and upskilling. From saving up for their children’s education to repaying loans and meeting other personal needs, the program has been able to augment their income and to uplift their lives. Currently, Flipkart works with over 1 lakh Kiranas across the country of which more than 8,300 are delivery partners from the state itself.
