Shri Nitin Gadkari virtually flags off fleet of Electric Vehicles as Amazon India reaffirms commitment to building a sustainable supply chain

Apr 18, 2021 by Neel Achary 0 Comments #Amazon India, #leaders from Amazon India and CEOs of leading OEMs, #Shri Nitin Gadkari

Amazon India will engage with more Indian OEMs, lending strength to ‘Make in India’ and AtmaNirbhar Bharat to achieve its goal of 10,000 EVs by 2025.

National, 18 April, 2021: Amazon India today reaffirmed its commitment towards the electrification of its last mile delivery fleet to reduce its dependence on non-renewable resources at a virtual event with Shri Nitin Gadkari, leaders from Amazon India and CEOs of leading OEMs. Amazon India recently announced that it is working with Mahindra Electric to add more electric vehicles (EV) in its delivery fleet. Today, Hero Electric as well as start-ups such as EVage are engaging with Amazon India to expand the company’s fleet of EVs to enable sustainable deliveries of customer orders. Amazon India’s Delivery Service Partners are already operating EVs of multiple formats in over 20 cities in India including Delhi NCR, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Nagpur, Bhopal, Indore and Coimbatore to name a few.

The collaborative effort strengthens Amazon India’s commitment to include 10,000 EVs as part of its delivery fleet by 2025. These EVs are in addition to the company’s global commitment of 100,000 electric vehicles in its delivery fleet by 2030 announced in the Climate Pledge signed by Amazon. Amazon India’s Delivery Service Partner fleet of EVs now includes 2-wheeler, 3-wheeler and 4-wheeler vehicles, which are designed and made in India and will be deployed across the company’s delivery partner network.

Virtually flagging off a fleet of EVs at Smbhav 2021, Shri Nitin Gadkari, Hon’ble Union Minister of MSME, Road Transport and Highways said, “As we enter the 75th year of Indian independence we need to focus on our collective efforts towards a green and sustainable India. I want to congratulate Amazon for being the first company to sign the Climate Pledge by committing to net zero carbon across the business, 10 years ahead of the Paris Agreement. This is a remarkable and historical contribution. I am really happy to know that Amazon India has pledged to adopt 10,000 EVs in their delivery fleet by 2025. Collaboration between Amazon and Indian OEMs like Mahindra Electric, Hero Electric and EVage is a welcome step, which reaffirms India’s significant progress in the e-mobile industry.”

The Indian e-mobility industry has made significant progress over the last few years, with the Indian government’s focus to encourage the adoption of EVs. The inclusion of EVs in Amazon India’s fleet further powers India’s electric mobility progress and complements its focus on ‘Make in India’ EVs.

“We, at Amazon India, remain steadfast in our endeavour to building a supply chain that fosters energy efficiency and is environmentally responsible. These Electric Vehicles will play a central role in achieving our environmental sustainability goals and will also play an important role towards building an AtmaNirbhar Bharat”, said Prakash Kumar Dutta, Vice President, Fulfilment Centre & Supply Chain Operations, Amazon India.

Amazon co-founded The Climate Pledge in 2019, a commitment to reach the Paris Agreement 10 years early and be net-zero carbon by 2040. The pledge now has 53 signatories, including Infosys, IBM, Unilever, Verizon, Siemens, and Microsoft. To reach its goal, Amazon will continue to reduce emissions across its operations by taking real business actions and establishing a path to power its operations with 100% renewable energy, five years ahead of the company’s original target of 2030; delivering its Shipment Zero vision to make all shipments net-zero carbon, with 50% net-zero carbon by 2030; purchasing 100,000 electric delivery vehicles, the largest order ever of electric delivery vehicles, and by investing $2 billion in the development of decarbonizing services and solutions through the Climate Pledge Fund.

Apr 13, 2021 by Neel Achary 0 Comments #Amazon India, #Amit Agarwal, #Senior Vice President & Country Manager

As COVID-19 vaccines become available to individuals above 45 years of age in India, Amazon India is encouraging its employees, associates, sellers on Amazon.in and partners to get vaccinated at the earliest appropriate time to protect themselves, their families, and their communities. Amazon India will cover the COVID-19 vaccination cost for not only all its India employees and associates but will also cover the costs for operations partner network of Delivery Service Partner associates, including Amazon Flex drivers, I Have Space (IHS) store partners, trucking partners and also their eligible dependents. Amazon India announced that the benefit will also be available to all sellers, on Amazon.in with an active listing since last year.

The company has also set up comprehensive support mechanisms for employees and associates working with Amazon and hired through staffing agencies. Amazon India supports cost coverage for COVID-19 treatment, hospital search and coverage of prescribed COVID-19 tests. Initiatives have been scaled and evolved to address the prevailing situation.

Speaking about this development, Amit Agarwal, Senior Vice President & Country Manager, Amazon India, said, “Over the last year, it has been humbling to see the way our teams, sellers and partners have responded to the challenging situation posed by COVID-19 across the country. We have seen so much innovation, and most importantly across teams we have seen a strong urge to serve the people of India and keep customers safe. Health and safety of our teams and partners continues to be our top priority. We are encouraging eligible individuals to get vaccinated, and will cover the cost of vaccination for  our employees, associates, Operations partner network, sellers and their eligible dependents to ensure their continued safety.”

These new benefits are on top of the $2.5 billion Amazon has invested in special bonuses and incentives for teams globally over the last year, and the $11.5 billion the company has invested in COVID-19-related measures overall. This investment has enabled the company to provide personal protective equipment (PPE) and extensive safety measures for employees and partners throughout the global network along with other financial support initiatives.
In 2020, Amazon had rolled out a number of measures to support SMBs in its ecosystem in India to navigate the economic challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic including a variety of fee waivers, relaxation of policies, and we worked with an insurance provider to facilitate COVID-19 health insurance coverage for eligible sellers on Amazon.in. The company had also enabled ‘on demand disbursement’ to enable sellers to get their disbursements daily.

The Amazon Relief Fund (ARF) was launched in India in April 2020 with a $25 million relief fund for partners and continues to provide support to all eligible individuals. ARF can be utilized by qualifying individuals who have been quarantined or diagnosed with COVID-19. The company extended the ‘Amazon Relief Fund’ to all eligible delivery associates who are part of the Delivery Service Partner Program, Amazon Flex program and trucking partners providing transportation support in the event of financial hardships.

Amazon India also announced a Partner Support Fund for the Small and Medium Business enterprises part of the company’s logistics network who were financially impacted due to the nationwide lockdown in April 2020. This enabled their Delivery Service partners and select transportation partners to support thousands of their associates through financial hardships, and to help cover critical fixed costs and liquidity concerns of these entrepreneurs.

This Indore based-IHS partner is building her entrepreneurial legacy while steering Amazon India’s operations

Mar 8, 2021 by Neel Achary 0 Comments #Amazon India, #Amazon’s I Have Space (IHS) program, #Sunita Dabi

When the going gets tough, some women take charge and work to turn it around. These women choose to view every challenge as an opportunity and serve as an inspiration to other women looking to build a legacy for their families. Indore-based Sunita Dabi is one among them.

Sunita has been responsible for taking care of her family’s needs for a while now. After separating from her husband a few years, the responsibility of her childrens’ future landed on her shoulders. The earnings from her job as a security guard, however, were meager and managing her family finances and two childrens’ education was becoming a challenge. She was steadfast in her resolve to give them a brighter future and started helping in her father’s shop, Bhiru Bhai Kirana Store.

Her indomitable spirit saw her exploring other avenues that enabled her to earn an additional income. At this juncture, she came across Amazon’s I Have Space (IHS) program and learnt about the possibilities to scale her father’s business. She immediately enrolled in the program and this is when her entrepreneurial journey began.

The IHS program is a unique initiative that enables local store owners to partner with Amazon and add extra earnings to their regular income while also increasing footfalls to their local shops. Sunita, like many other store owners, provides pickup and delivery services to customers within a 2 -4 kilometer radius of her store.

Working with Amazon as an IHS partner for more than 3 years, Sunita has been able to earn a steady income while managing the store and her personal commitments with ease. The additional income from the program has enabled her to significantly improve her family’s financial condition and give her children the education they deserve. Sunita’s work ethic exemplifies Amazon’s leadership principles and she is known to adopt solution-oriented thinking and a customer-focused approach in all that she does.

Sunita juggles multiple roles and she continues to yearn for more. She starts her day by making deliveries and then moves on to managing the kirana store for the rest of the day.

Speaking about her experience, Sunita says, “The support and independence that I have received from Amazon has enabled me to secure my family’s future and give my children a better education. The biggest win is the respect and recognition with which I am accorded in society and when other people look at me as a pillar of support. This gives me the confidence and motivation to keep going. Becoming an IHS partner with Amazon has been a turning point in my life.”

Amazon India has successfully unlocked the entrepreneurial potential of such women store owners, allowing them to supplement their regular income and generate more footfalls in their stores. The program is open to all store owners who have the ability to service on foot or a two-wheeler. The only requirement to be an ‘I Have Space’ partner is for the store owner to have sufficient time to make local deliveries during their off-peak hours, and space to store packages.

This story of entrepreneurship is not just about Sunita but thousands of women who want to explore their potential to be successful career women, earn a living of their own, and uplift others in the process. This momentum is also indicative of the progress women are making to build their own businesses and actively participating in strengthening and positively impacting the country, at large.
