While talking to Millennium Post, John Samuel, member, Postal Services Board, said India Post is also changing with the changes taking place in the country as well as across the world.
During a press conference organised to showcase the automated mail processing centre at the Delhi airport, Samuel said, ‘India Post is ready to tap into the opportunities arising out of e-commerce as the decade’s old postal department has the manpower to deliver the goods even to the last corner of the country. Our delivery system is based on pin code system with 100 per cent accuracy, while courier services active in the country are limited to certain pockets only.’
Samuel said: ‘We are in the last stage of talk. The deal with e-tail majors will be finalised very soon.’
While taking a leaf out of Chinese Postal services delivery system, Samuel added, ‘Most of the logistics part of Chinese e-commerce major Alibaba is being handled by the Chinese Postal department. India Post can also act as the largest logistics partner for e-tail majors in the coming days.’
