Vahan Places 4 Lakh Blue-Collar Workers Across 200 Cities In India
Delivery hiring platform Vahan has announced that it has placed over 4 lakh delivery riders across a record 200 cities in India. This announcement comes just ahead of the upcoming festive season and at a time when most brands have announced their unique festival sales which will see consumers purchasing products in larger numbers.
Founded by Madhav Krishna, the platform is an AI-powered platform that assists blue-collar delivery riders in finding jobs within 48 hours, through a multilingual chatbot and app. Vahan also helps delivery brands fulfill their demand at scale and in record time. It takes care of the entire gamut of the hiring process which includes recruitment, onboarding and payroll management, thus operating as an end-to-end platform.
Currently, delivery-based roles are highly favored among blue-collar workers due to the flexibility they provide, enabling individuals to select shifts that align with their schedules. Riders can easily earn up to INR 30,000 a month, thanks to a combination of regular fees and lucrative incentives. This earning potential further sweetens the deal, making delivery roles an attractive and financially rewarding option for those looking to earn a decent living.
According to studies, the Indian last mile delivery market is expected to reach USD 6 billion by 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 15.62% from 2022 to 2027. As a result, there is a growing demand for efficient supply chain solutions, as well as an expanded network of fulfillment centers, sortation centers, and delivery hubs. This has led to a significant increase in the need for delivery personnel, and Vahan plays a crucial role in meeting this demand.
Madhav Krishna, Founder and CEO of Vahan, highlighted the significance of this achievement, stating that their success goes beyond numbers. “The platform is not just a job placement tool; it drives positive change, enabling economic empowerment and fostering growth for businesses and individuals. Vahan leads in managing the workforce for delivery businesses, offering solutions with unparalleled efficiency. It has become the preferred choice for businesses looking to seamlessly manage their delivery workforce."
