The company said it is expecting a spike in e-commerce order deliveries during the festival season and seeks to further strengthen its last-mile capabilities.

Under the 'Ecom Sanjeev' programme launched last year, the company has created opportunities for delivery partners such as students, homemakers, freelancers and part-timers, among others, Ecom Express said.

"When it comes to e-commerce order deliveries, customers expect timely service. In times when the number of parcels is continuously increasing, owing to industry growth, we have clearly seen the advantage of having gig workers to help strengthen our delivery capabilities, especially to meet the anticipated surge in customer demand during the festive season," said Ashish Sikka, Chief Strategy Officer, Ecom Express.

The company, he said, will continue to expand its delivery partner network and offer them benefits along with earning opportunity through this programme.
