Amazon Flex has been present in India for quite some time now, but today, the platform has restated its desire to help the Indian people find opportunities outside their regular work.
“Amazon’s innovative delivery program empowers homemakers, students, and professionals across 65 Indian cities, offering flexible work opportunities for independent contractors to deliver with Amazon Flex,” Amazon Flex in its official press release.
One of the beneficiaries was this UPSC aspirant in Pune, Sachin Gorakh Shinde, who had a full-time job for at least eight hours. Yet, they needed a viable source of extra income. Shinde discovered Amazon Flex.
The program’s distinctive flexible model gave him the freedom to earn without sacrificing his full-time job and his studies.
Amazon Flex India revealed that Shinde signed up as an Amazon Flex delivery partner in 2019, becoming one of the platform’s first delivery partners from Pune.
Shinde is among those independent contractors that Amazon Flex has been helping – students balancing work with academics, homemakers, and others – to turn their free time into part-time income without compromising on their other commitments.
Another beneficiary is 33-year-old Ashwini Kenchi, a mother of two and a homemaker. Kenchi shared how she is able to earn extra income based on her children’s schedules or her schedules with her kids.
“Working as an Amazon Flex delivery partner has been incredibly rewarding for me. The program offers flexibility; I can choose delivery blocks based on my children’s schedules. With my earnings, I’m able to contribute to expenses like house rent and school fees while also saving for our future,” she imparted.
Kenchi admitted how she did not have the experience, but thanks to Amazon Flex’s easy-to-understand onboarding videos and unwavering support from the platform’s team, she stated how she can “deliver with confidence.”
Amazon Flex is a platform wherein individuals can earn when they deliver Amazon packages in their spare time, “even if their time availability may not suit traditional work patterns.”
In other words, participants work as if they are official Amazon delivery staff and earn as well.
This business setup has allowed Amazon Flex to offer a unique opportunity for individuals to work according to the schedule that suits them best while earning extra income. By turning their spare hours into productive opportunities, Amazon Flex India is not just delivery packages but “delivering a new sense of empowerment to India’s aspiring workforce.”
Amazon Flex is currently operational in 65 Indian cities, including tier 2 and tier 3 cities such as Guntur, Nashik, Patiala, Shimla, Vellore, and Raipur, aside from just metro cities.
“Amazon Flex is a pivotal component of our expansive delivery network in India, empowering local individuals to deliver Amazon packages efficiently and reliably,” Amazon India noted. “… By using the power of independent drivers who use their own vehicles, this model helps ensure that millions of customers across India receive their orders in a timely manner, no matter where they are located.”
