NEW DELHI : Amazon India on Monday said it has significantly augmented its delivery network ahead of the festive season by setting up additional delivery stations and scaling up its partnership with kirana stores. The move, which will also help generate employment opportunities, will enable faster and more efficient delivery of packages during the festive season that sees a major spike in orders. Amazon Flex allows delivery partners to work as per their own schedule and earn supplemental income by delivering Amazon packages. Rochlani said Amazon India has also introduced 'society pickup points', a delivery format that caters to high-density residential societies in Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru and Hyderabad. Electronics, fashion and home furnishing are some of the categories that see a huge demand during the festive season.
