Delhivery, India's largest integrated logistics provider, has joined forces with Bengaluru-based software solution provider eSamudaay to enable rural businesses to scale by serving customers across India.
The Bengaluru-based firm has launched a tech-enabled platform called TyohaarForever Platform to curate India's vast range of hyperlocal products produced by local artisans.
Through the partnership, eSamudaay will utilise Delhivery's extensive pan-India delivery network to make these local products produced by artisans accessible nationwide.
The first set of cross-country orders for raw, unpasteurised Himalayan Honey from Tenacious Bee Collective, a start-up supporting local beekeepers, have already been fulfilled through the platform.
"A Delhivery field executive picked up the products from Jia valley, located in the Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh, to ship to Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore," the company said in a statement.
The company said that coming together of Delhivery and eSamudaay, network partners of ONDC, effectively broadens the footprint of local products and aligns with the government of India's plans of 'Make in India, for the world’.
Speaking on the initiative, ONDC's managing director and CEO T Koshy said," ONDC, with its agenda of democratising digital commerce, aims to bring the smallest of sellers onto the network and provides them with a level playing field. I'm delighted to see two network participants, Delhivery and eSamudaay, enable 'Tenacious Bee Collective,' a small company from Kangra, Himachal Pradesh on-board onto ONDC to take its products to customers across India."
"We are excited to collaborate with ONDC network enablers such as eSamudaay to open up new vistas for delivering value and creating wealth at the grassroots level using digital technologies," said Delhivery COO Ajith Pai.
"With Delhivery's technology enabled, fully-integrated logistics solutions, entrepreneurs and businesses from the remotest villages and settlements can serve customers across the country. India has huge demand from different tiers of economy, and ONDC will truly unlock the growth potential of digital commerce in India," Pai added.
