And, what better way to launch but around Father’s Day, thus celebrating this special bond between all fathers and their respective children. Our launch campaign in Delhi invites our customers to send hand-written letters to their father, thus re-igniting an old world charm as we often forget to tell them how much we care!
He added, “Customers availing EKART Courier will no longer have to go through any packaging hassles or run around, as EKART Courier promises a service as per their convenience.”
Saurabh Sehgal COO- Operations, Radio One said, “We at Radio One, Delhi have joined hands with EKART, the logistic arm of Flipkart in a joint initiative to celebrate Father’s Day with Nostalgia. Both EKART & Radio One decided to go the old fashioned way in expressing love and gratitude towards fathers and laid stress on re-bonding over the lost form of letter writing. Being a station that offers differentiated content, targets upscale Delhites, we found the opportunity apropos to the occasion. A wonderful initiative by EKART and Radio One is happy to partner with them on the same.
EKART, which is currently the largest logistics company in India, through this service will deliver across 3800+ pin codes with pick-ups enabled in eight cities by June 2016. An industry first, the service will allow users to drop a pin for both the pick-up and delivery addresses on a map that is provided by the FLIP (Flipkart’s mapping platform) which will significantly solve the issues of pincode-address mismatches, reduce misrouting of couriers and improve reliability. This will soon be coupled with RFID and GPS based real time tracking enabling users to visualize the courier’s journey over the map further enhancing the existing track and trace.
EKART Courier also offers consumers the benefit of 24×7 online booking on Mobile and Website, slotted door-step pick-up, free and reliable packaging, transparent pricing and assurance on delivery time. This will be a first-of-its-kind end-to-end offering that the industry is to witness.
