Bengaluru based Yulu began with a pilot by offering its vehicles and manpower to various home delivery companies for groceries and medicines, to meet the surge in their demand due to the lockdown. Yulu is currently supporting home delivery companies in Bengaluru and will be shortly extending its support to other cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Pune & Ahmedabad.

Amit Gupta, Co-founder & CEO – Yulu said, “COVID-19 has affected the world at large, but this has also given us a glimpse of the good that exists. Several novel initiatives have been taken up by brands across the world to serve people impacted by this situation, and we are in it together.”



He further added, due to the COVID-19 there has been a huge surge in demand for home delivery of essential goods such as grocery and medicine, which the companies are unable to fulfill due to shortage of manpower and unavailability of vehicles. There were a lot of inquiries from these companies for Yulu to help them with both our e- vehicle and manpower to fulfill the increased demand. It has been a privilege to be able to support the supply of essential goods during this time of national crisis while strictly following social distancing and hygiene guidelines.

“Commenting on the partnership, Mr.KB Nagaraju, Chief Customer Experience Officer, BigBasket, said, BigBasket is committed to providing the best possible service to customers during these challenging times and ensuring that they don’t suffer due to the supply chain disruptions. To fulfill our delivery goals, we are happy to partner with Yulu who will help us with our warehousing operations as well as last-mile delivery services. We are making all efforts to continue operations and are constantly tying-up with logistic providers and vehicle fleet owners to strengthen our delivery network.”

Vivek Gupta & Abhay Hanjura, Co-Founders, Licious said “Licious is committed to ensuring that our consumers have uninterrupted access to everyday essentials like meat, fish & eggs. This partnership is another step in that direction.  It will allow for optimal cross-utilization of resources as we continue to serve the country.”

John H.K. Tang, Co-founder & Director – Lalamove India said “Lalamove is committed to supporting the communities that we work in. The global COVID-19 pandemic is one of the biggest challenges that we’ve ever had to face, but we know that we are stronger when we work together. We have taken many pro-active measures in Bengaluru to help the community & local people and our partnership with YULU is a stepping stone in making eco-friendly deliveries and staying ahead of time.
