Vakrangee teams up with Blue Dart Express

Vakrangee Logistics has entered an alliance with DHL’s Blue Dart Express to offer last mile courier and logistics services on an pan-Indian basis.

In a statement issued on Friday (23 March), Vakrangee and Blue Dart plan to roll out last mile delivery services across selected locations in Maharashtra. This will then be further be extended to cover Vakrangee’s network of “Kendras” (the Sanskrit word for centres)  across the country.

Shailendra Jindal, CEO, Vakrangee Logistics, said: “This strategic partnership is a game changer for the e-commerce industry in India that is struggling for delivery of goods to the large rural population of India. Blue Dart is a well-known brand and this tie-up is very important to us as we scale up our logistic services to provide courier booking and last mile delivery services to citizens across the country. This tie-up will also open up additional sources of revenue to our franchisees. Vakrangee Ltd. promises to give every Indian, their rightful access to a wide range of modern-day products and services.”

Anil Khanna, Managing Director, Blue Dart Express Limited, added: “At Blue Dart our vision is to establish continuing excellence in delivery capabilities focused on the individual customer and this partnership with Vakrangee Logistics Private Limited enables us to expand our reach to the hitherto unserved and underserved areas across the country. We have evolved an infrastructure unique in the country today to provide express delivery services through our exceptional people, processes and superior technology. The 44,000 plus Vakrangee Kendras will further expand our reach and delivery capabilities that could give new dimensions to the e-commerce logistics.”
