Amazon launches its largest all-women delivery station in India with a Delivery Service Partner in Andhra Pradesh
~ The newly launched station in Rajahmundry is Amazon’s 7th Partner Delivery station in the country which is operated by only women
~ The other all-women stations by Amazon’s Delivery Service Partners are located in Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala and Mizoram
Building on its commitment to empower women with meaningful work opportunities, Amazon India today announced the launch of its largest all-women delivery station in India, which will be operated by a Delivery Service Partner in Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh. The newly launched station is the second such delivery station in the state, which will provide job opportunities to close to 50 women from the region as Amazon gets ready for the festive season. This will also help deliver Amazon packages to customers in neighboring areas like Morampudi, Lalacheruvu, Danavaipeta, Prakash Nagar, Tilakroad, and among others. The first all-women station in Andhra Pradesh was launched in November, 2021 in Piduguralla town of Guntur district.
The launch of this delivery station in Andhra Pradesh not only enables Amazon India to further deepen its reach to customers ahead of the festive season, but also provides growth and work opportunities for Delivery Service Partners and the associates they hire. These include opportunities ranging from station managers, process associates, and delivery associates. Amazon has introduced several measures to ensure a safe workplace for women by creating awareness about health and safety, and building various feedback mechanisms, along with a dedicated helpline number for associates to dial in for any support or help needed during the day.
Speaking about the launch of the all-women partner delivery station, Dr. Karuna Shankar Pande, Director, Amazon Logistics, India, said, “At Amazon India, we are committed to providing women with equal access to work, growth opportunities, and resources that help them broaden their horizon. The launch of India’s largest all-women delivery station in Andhra Pradesh reiterates our commitment to invest and create opportunities for women in the state. As Amazon India continues to expand its reach in Andhra Pradesh, the women working at this all-women partner delivery station will serve as an inspiration to many more.”
The launch of this all-women delivery station complements Amazon India’s efforts to increase the opportunities for women in the logistics sector whilst strengthening its Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity (DE&I) commitment. The company already has six all-women delivery stations operated by partners, one each in Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Mizoram and two in Kerala.
