Delhivery entrusts Moga hub in Punjab to all women workforce
The young women recruits aged 18-30 years have undergone focused training on processes, shipment handling, key metrics, and Delhivery systems to set them up for success in their new roles.
Delhivery has entrusted its Moga hub in Punjab to an all-women workforce, “underscoring the company’s inclusive values, ahead of International Women’s Day.”
Moga is a vital center of Delhivery operations in Punjab. With the new announcement, end-to-end hub operations will be orchestrated by an all-women workforce, including BOPT operations (battery-operated pallet trucks), inventory management, loading/unloading of trucks. Women-only housekeeping and security staff have also been deployed to support the facility 24X7. The young women recruits aged 18-30 years have undergone focused training on processes, shipment handling, key metrics, and Delhivery systems to set them up for success in their new roles.
The women operating across 3 shifts reside within a 6-9 km radius of the facility and are well supported through reliable transportation connectivity provided by the company.
Suraj Saharan, chief people officer and co-founder at Delhivery, commented, “We value diversity and are continuously striving to onboard more women colleagues across operations and corporate roles. Our women workforce strength has grown 5 times over 3 years across all our operations facilities.”
“Before Delhivery, our new joiners at Moga were working in unorganized set-ups. Their transition to the formal logistics sector ensures a steady income and makes them eligible for social security benefits such as PF and ESIC. Punjab is an enterprising state, and its women too, are highly self-motivated and aspirational. Through our interactions with the women staff, we were pleased to know that they harbor big growth ambitions. They are at the right place–the growth opportunities at Delhivery are endless,” he added.
“We are determined to enable them to achieve their professional and personal milestones through our training and mentorship programs in a safe, inclusive work culture,” he said.
In other recent milestones, its Tauru Mega Gateway in Haryana achieved a 90%, and Jaipur Gateway achieved a 100% women participation ratio in their processing operations.
The company will continue to open all women's operations facilities, with the next two being in Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.
