India’s department of posts, as part of its ongoing initiatives to create an export ecosystem for e-commerce in the country, has entered into an agreement with Bigfoot Retail Solution Pvt Ltd (Shiprocket), a leading e-commerce enablement platform. The collaboration aims to enhance e-commerce exports by leveraging India Post’s extensive presence and reliable shipping solutions.

The agreement was signed recently in New Delhi in the presence of Alok Sharma, director general postal services; Manju Kumar, chief postmaster general of Delhi; and Saahil Goel, CEO, Shiprocket, marking a significant milestone in India’s cross border e-commerce landscape, India’s ministry of communications said in a press release.

The new initiative will lead to technical integration between Dak Ghar Niryat Kendra and Shiprocket and enable India-based sellers, using Shiprocket, to directly generate e-PBE and shipping labels from the Shiprocket platform itself. The exporters can avail packaging, label printing, pickup facility, and induct their shipments to the nearest DNK in any part of the country.

The deal is the latest addition in India Post’s export-oriented initiatives after the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed with Amazon last week.
