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.
