Delhivery launches fifth all-women hub in Shahdara, Delhi

Delhivery announced the launch of its fifth all-women hub in the new 1,600-square-foot facility in Shahdara, Delhi.

“Employing 25 women, the hub demonstrates the company's commitment to creating inclusive workplace environments and processing over 10,000 parcels daily,” reads the release.

Suraj Saharan, Chief People Officer and Co-founder at Delhivery, said, “The launch of our Shahdara hub represents a significant milestone in transforming the logistics industry. We are committed to creating environments where women professionals can excel. Our experience shows that when provided with the right opportunities, our women colleagues drive remarkable outcomes and help in enhancing operational efficiency. This hub exemplifies our dedication to skill development, workplace safety, and progressive policies that empower women's professional growth.”

Delhivery's all-women hubs, now spanning locations including Moga, Sikar, Satna, Mayapuri, and Shahdara, have already demonstrated remarkable outcomes. Women workers have shown 20 percent lower attrition rates, higher productivity attributed to traits of integrity, discipline, and empathy, and an 8 percent higher rate of 100 percent attendance compared to male workers.

It also reads, “With women representing only 15 percent of logistics employees nationwide, Delhivery's strategic four-pillar approach—encompassing women-friendly infrastructure, inclusive hiring practices, psychologically safe workplace culture, and robust career advancement opportunities—is crucial to transforming industry dynamics.”
