ECOM Express Limited, one of India's leading technology-driven full stack logistics solutions providers to the e-commerce
industry, today announced that it will provide Group Personal Insurance cover to its delivery partners. The GPA will ensure that
in the event of any unfortunate occurrence on-trip while delivering e-commerce parcels, comprehensive financial protection will
be provided against expenses incurred due to injury, disablement or death resulting from accidental injury. Delivery Partners
who use the Company's ‘Ecom Sanjeev' app to access flexible earning opportunities across India will be automatically covered
under the insurance policy. Besides accidental death, permanent total disability, permanent partial disability, child education,
medical expenses (OPD & IPD) and more, the Company will provide accidental insurance of up to 2 lakhs for delivery partners.
Ashish Sikka, Chief Strategy Officer, Ecom Express said, “Gig workers, who engage as delivery partners for last mile, need
safety and security at all times, owing to extensive travel in their jobs. In case of any mishap or road accidents, it usually results in
extensive hospital expenses, and they become vulnerable in paying these and sometimes additionally for post-treatment expenses.
This would eventually lead to having a big influence on a delivery partner's entire family. At Ecom Express, we would like to ensure
peace of mind for our delivery partners as these costs can be dealt with the assistance of insurance coverage and take them a
step closer to safeguarding from any mishaps that arise from an on-trip accident.'' All delivery partners of Ecom Express are
eligible for receiving GPA insurance benefits. Since the launch of ‘Ecom Sanjeev' delivery partner program in 2021, Ecom
Express has created massive opportunities for delivery partners – students, homemakers, freelancers, part-timers and those
looking to supplement and maximize their income. By joining its network, delivery partners can opt to work in flexible timeslots. Any
individual – fresher or experienced – can take up this part-time job by applying online using ‘Ecom Sanjeev' app available on
Google Playstore. The applicant must have a valid driving license and an android smartphone. All personal documents for
enrollment can be uploaded through the app and the verification will be done at the nearest Ecom Express delivery center. The
company will also be onboarding individuals who do not own any means of transportation.
