Over 12,000 businesses and individuals have partnered with Delhivery and have access to its infrastructure and technology to extend its fulfillment platform through their product and operations. "We continue to make significant investments to build world-class infrastructure," Barasia said. Delhivery has a nationwide network extending beyond 17,500 pin codes and 2,300 cities.
