Delhivery launches welfare programmes for 1 lakh gig workers, accidental insurance of Rs 15 lakh

Business To Business, Mumbai, 22nd June, 2026:  Delhivery Limited on Monday announced a comprehensive welfare initiative called Abhyam for its nearly 1 lakh frontline workforce, offering a range of financial protection and social security benefits.
The logistics company said the programme is designed to support delivery personnel and other frontline workers, who play a critical role in India's economy but often face significant financial vulnerability.
Key benefits under the Abhyam programme include:

  • Accidental insurance coverage of up to ₹15 lakh
  • Health insurance for workers and their families
  • Income-loss protection in case of unforeseen incidents
  • Scholarships for workers' children
  • Additional welfare and support measures aimed at improving financial security
According to the company, frontline and gig workers are particularly exposed to risks, with a single hospitalization or accident often having a severe impact on household finances. The programme seeks to address these challenges by providing a broader safety net.
Delhivery said the inclusion of accidental coverage, health insurance, and income-protection benefits is intended to ensure that an unexpected event does not escalate into a major financial crisis for workers and their families.
The initiative reflects a growing focus among Indian companies on improving social security and welfare benefits for gig and frontline workers, who form an increasingly important part of the country's logistics, e-commerce, and delivery ecosystem.
By extending protection beyond basic employment-related benefits, Delhivery aims to enhance the well-being, financial resilience, and long-term security of its workforce.
