Delhivery [EP6 Horn OK Please]
<p>Delhivery is a titan in the Indian logistics landscape. The company started out doing hyperlocal deliveries in Gurgaon in 2011. Pretty quickly, it moved into express parcel deliveries and served as the backbone for India’s eCommerce boom in the following years. Today, as a public company with ~$900mil in revenue, Delhivery’s story demonstrates how technology can transform logistics.</p> <p>To help us with this exploration, I’m joined by Kshitij Chopra. Kshitij is the Head of Product at Delhivery. He was also the company’s first product hire back in 2015 and has worn many hats since then. Together, we explore Delhivery’s business lines, the role of the government in logistics, and Kshitij’s personal journey building technology at Delhivery.</p> <p><strong>Resources</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.delhivery.com/">Delhivery’s Website</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.delhivery.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/PresentationofEarningsConferenceCall.pdf">Latest Financials (Q4 FY23)</a></li> <li>Connect with Kshitij on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kshitijchopra/">LinkedIn</a></li> <li>Connect with Shreyas on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/shreyaskadaba">LinkedIn</a></li> </ul>

Pidge [EP5 Horn OK Please]
<p><a href="https://www.pidge.in">Pidge</a> is a last-mile logistics service provider that supports small and medium enterprises with intra-city shipments. </p> <ul> <li>On the demand side, Pidge works disparate customers including D2C brands, restaurants, and medical companies. These companies either outsource their deliveries to Pidge or use Pidge’s software to manage an in-house delivery process. </li> <li>On the supply side, Pidge runs an asset-light model. Unlike quick commerce platforms such as Dunzo and Zepto, the company doesn’t maintain its own fleet of vehicles. Instead, it relies on a network of delivery partners to fulfill orders. By working with clients across an array of industries, Pidge provides a consistent level of business to its delivery partners. It also maximizes network utilization and fulfills nearly 100% of incoming requests. </li> </ul> <p>Having enabled over 5 million deliveries since 2019, the company is leaving its mark as a leading LSP and logistics tech business. To help us with this exploration, I’m joined by <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ratnesh-verma-8418a1a3/">Ratnesh Verma</a>. Ratnesh is the Co-Founder and CEO of Pidge.
