In order to help Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) startups and Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs) throughout India, iThink Logistics and India Post announced their partnership. It claimed that the agreement would lead to a technological integration that would change the way last-mile deliveries is conducted.
“The heart of this collaboration lies in the shared mission of empowering D2C businesses to extend their reach beyond urban hubs. The e-commerce penetration rates in tier-II and tier-III cities stood at an impressive 21.4 per cent and 41.5 per cent respectively in 2022. While marketplace giants like Flipkart, Myntra, and Meesho have established a strong foothold in these regions, independent e-commerce brands often grapple with the challenge of limited serviceability,” the company said.
