GLAM Bets on India’s Gig Workforce, Builds Rider First Last-Mile Delivery Platform

India’s last-mile delivery ecosystem relies on millions of delivery partners who navigate traffic, endure long hours and face daily uncertainty to keep cities moving. Yet for many of these delivery partners, the challenges go far beyond congestion and deadlines. Lack of job security, irregular payments, and limited access to benefits often make gig work unpredictable. That is the gap Greenteck Logistics and Mobility Private Limited, popularly known as GLAM, is working to bridge by leveraging deep market understanding, technology and operational rigour.

Incorporated in October 2022 and headquartered in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, GLAM operates at the intersection of last-mile delivery, quick commerce, and green mobility. The company is building a rider-first platform that focuses on transparent systems, operational stability and sustainable mobility, while creating dignified earning opportunities for India’s growing delivery workforce.

GLAM delivers over 20 million shipments every month, serving top metro cities, 65 Tier 1 and Tier 2 locations across India. GLAM is powered by a 100+ member team and a robust network of 21,000+ delivery partners on the platform. The company works with key players across verticals like e-commerce, quick-commerce, food delivery and D2C, leveraging a rider-centric operating model to create sustainable value for the entire ecosystem.

Leading this mission is Vijay Dobriyal, Founder & CEO of GLAM. With prior leadership experience of over two decades across organisations such as the Tata Group, ABG, Airtel, and Nestlé, Vijay brings deep operational and strategic expertise to the organisation, ensuring corporate rigour with a grassroots understanding of India’s evolving quick commerce market.

“India’s delivery ecosystem doesn’t need another platform that only optimises for speed,” Mr Dobriyal shares. “We need systems that are sustainable and build business value while keeping rider centric approach. At GLAM, we’re building robust systems, predictable income flows, and long-term opportunities for delivery partners.”

As India’s digital economy grows, last-mile delivery is becoming increasingly vital. GLAM is leading this transformation by integrating technology, clean mobility, and human-centred operations to build a last-mile delivery backbone. The company is expanding its EV footprint, scaling rider base across multiple cities, and strengthening partnerships in quick commerce. With a clear mission of onboarding 100,000+ delivery partners by 2027, GLAM is positioning itself as a next-generation delivery and mobility platform that unites efficiency with empathy.

GLAM Aggressively Ramps Up Digi al Commerce Rider Network Across Southern India

Noida, India: Greenteck Logistics and Mobility Private Limited (GLAM), a rider-first digital commerce delivery platform founded in 2022, has aggressively expanded its delivery partner network across southern India in the last two quarters.

Following strong growth in northern and western markets, the company has been scaling up its footprint across Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh, some of India’s fastest-growing urban digital commerce markets. This growth has been further accelerated by the induction of an in-house digital onboarding platform and EV aggregation model for delivery partners.

Scaling a Rider-First Delivery Network

As demand surges across quick commerce, D2C, and e-commerce, GLAM is ramping up its delivery partner network through both physical and digital channels.

The company differentiates itself by offering predictable work opportunities with healthy earnings, transparent payment structures, and round-the-clock operational support, directly addressing inconsistent workflow and payment issues that remain chronic pain points for gig workers in India.

Leveraging its Asset Light Business Model to Drive Scale with Profitability

GLAM’s southern India expansion has led to its presence in 300+ cities across the country.

GLAM delivers over 20 million shipments every month through its 25,000+ delivery partner network. Through an asset-light model, the company has been consistently generating a high RoE (>50%).

Continuing its profitable growth strategy, the company is expected to grow its profit for FY2026 by over 120% YoY.

To fund this rapid growth, GLAM is now raising its first round of external growth capital. This will help GLAM further build on its momentum in line with its plan of expanding the network to 100,000+ delivery partners by FY2027.

With this, GLAM will further solidify its position as the next-generation delivery and mobility platform that unites scale with profitability.

“Our focus is not just on scaling numbers, but on building a system where delivery partners can work with clarity, confidence, and stability,” said Vijay Dobriyal.

With prior leadership experience of over two decades across organisations such as the Tata Group, ABG, Airtel, and Nestlé, Vijay brings deep operational and strategic expertise to the organisation, ensuring corporate rigour with a grassroots understanding of India’s evolving quick commerce market.

GLAM Enters FY 2026–27 with 25,000+ Delivery Partners and Aggressive Tier-II Expansion Drive

GLAM Announces Strategic Expansion Roadmap for FY2026–27

Noida, April 2026: GLAM (Greenteck Logistics and Mobility Pvt Ltd), one of India’s fastest-growing rider-first last-mile delivery networks, announced its strategic expansion roadmap for FY2026–27.

Backed by a network of 25,000+ delivery partners, operations spanning 16 states, and over 20 million shipments processed every month, the company enters the new financial year with robust fundamentals and ambitious growth plans.

25,000+ Delivery Partners | 16 States | 20M+ Shipments / Month | 300+ Cities

Founded in late 2022, GLAM has distinguished itself in India’s crowded last-mile delivery landscape with a singular focus on building a better work experience for delivery partners. As the company scales aggressively into FY2026–27, its expansion strategy spans deeper Tier-II market penetration, significant additions to its Electric Vehicle (EV) fleet, and expanded platform partnerships with India’s leading digital commerce brands.

FY2026–27 Growth Strategy

Four Pillars. One Goal: Dominate Last-Mile Delivery in India.

Tier-II Market Expansion

GLAM is accelerating into India’s high-growth Tier-II cities, where the rate of growth is outpacing metros. Organised, reliable last-mile delivery infrastructure in these markets is still in a nascent stage. GLAM intends to gain a disproportionate share of this market.

Quick Commerce Scale-Up

India’s sub-30-minute delivery economy is booming at 50%+ CAGR. GLAM is deepening partnerships with leading quick-commerce platforms across grocery, food, and hyperlocal segments to capture a larger share of this fast-moving vertical.

EV Fleet Growth

GLAM continues to expand its electric vehicle delivery fleet, reducing operational costs for delivery partners, lowering emissions, and future-proofing its network.

Rider Welfare

GLAM is investing to enhance delivery partner support systems, including wider insurance coverage, smarter payment infrastructure and 24/7 operational support.

Market Opportunity

India’s Last-Mile Delivery Market Is at an Inflexion Point

The numbers underscore the urgency: India’s last-mile delivery sector is projected to grow from USD 7.4 billion in 2025 to USD 24.00 billion by 2033, a CAGR of ~14%. Quick commerce, GLAM’s focused vertical, is growing even faster, having compounded at over 50% annually between FY2021 and FY2026.

The supply side is equally compelling. India’s gig workforce, estimated at 7.7 million in 2020–21, is on track to reach 23.5 million by 2030, a demographic shift that underpins long-term platform supply.

Rising internet penetration (800M+ users), accelerating smartphone adoption, and the digitalisation of Tier-II consumer behaviour are collectively expanding the addressable market at an unprecedented pace.

“India’s delivery infrastructure is at an inflexion point. Most platforms are scaling on the backs of riders, while GLAM is sharply focused on rider outcomes. This is in line with GLAM’s core thesis:
‘When the rider wins, the entire supply chain benefits sustainably.’”
— Vijay Dobriyal

Northern India, GLAM’s home ground, accounts for ~30% of national last-mile delivery volumes, anchored by Delhi NCR and Uttar Pradesh. The region leads India in same-day and sub-hour delivery innovation.

GLAM is already present here, at scale. With all the initiatives in the pipeline for the current financial year, GLAM looks forward to its next key milestone of 100,000+ delivery partners in its network.

What Riders Should Look for Before Joining a Delivery Platform

Joining a delivery platform might look simple from the outside. You sign up, complete verification, and start accepting orders. Flexible hours, incentives, and quick earnings sound attractive. But before jumping in, it’s important to slow down and think carefully. Because once you start riding daily, the platform you choose directly affects your income, routine, and peace of mind.

The first thing any rider should think about is payment reliability. No matter how good the app looks or how big the incentive banners are, none of it matters if payments are inconsistent. Most riders depend on regular payouts to manage fuel, rent, household expenses, and other responsibilities. Even small delays can create pressure. A platform that pays on time builds trust. A platform that doesn’t creates stress.

Another important factor is order consistency. High payout per order sounds impressive, but if orders are limited or irregular, earnings become unpredictable. Sometimes a steady flow of moderate-paying orders is better than waiting long hours for high-paying ones. Talking to active riders and understanding their real experience can give better clarity than advertisements.

Incentives are often highlighted heavily during onboarding. They look exciting and motivating. But riders should carefully understand the conditions behind them. Are the targets realistic? Can they be achieved without working extreme hours? Incentives should encourage performance, not create exhaustion or pressure.

Support from the platform also plays a big role. Issues are inevitable in delivery work. Orders get cancelled, customers may raise complaints, or payments might get stuck. In those moments, quick and fair support makes a big difference. If reaching customer support feels difficult or problems take too long to resolve, frustration builds up quickly.

Expenses are another factor many new riders underestimate. The app may show total earnings clearly, but actual take-home income depends on fuel, maintenance, and daily running costs. The more distance you cover, the more these expenses matter. Riders should think beyond gross earnings and focus on what remains after costs.

Flexibility is often the main reason people join delivery platforms. The idea of choosing your own working hours is attractive. But it’s important to understand whether the platform truly allows flexibility or indirectly pressures riders with strict time slots and performance targets. True flexibility should give control, not hidden stress.

At the end of the day, choosing a delivery platform is not just about starting quickly. It’s about making a smart long-term decision. The right platform should offer consistent payments, steady work, fair policies, and proper support. Because in delivery work, stability matters just as much as speed.

Before joining, take your time, ask questions, and think ahead. A thoughtful decision today can make everyday work smoother tomorrow.

The Hidden Cost of Irregular Payments in the Gig Economy

The gig economy promises freedom. Flexible hours, quick onboarding, and the ability to earn whenever you choose to work. For many people, especially delivery riders and freelancers, this flexibility is empowering. It offers independence and control over time.

But there’s one issue that quietly creates pressure behind the scenes — irregular payments.

On paper, a small delay in payout may not seem like a big problem. A few days here and there doesn’t sound serious. But for someone who depends on weekly or daily earnings, that delay can disrupt everything.

Gig workers usually operate on tight cash flow. Fuel needs to be refilled. Groceries need to be bought. Bills don’t wait. When payments are inconsistent, planning becomes difficult. Even continuing work becomes stressful because expenses continue whether money comes in or not.

What makes it harder is the uncertainty. If a rider knows they will be paid every Tuesday without fail, they can manage. But when the payout date keeps shifting or clarity is missing, anxiety builds. The mind starts calculating constantly — “When will it come?” “How will I manage until then?” That mental load affects focus and performance.

Irregular payments also slowly reduce motivation. When someone works hard and doesn’t see timely results, energy drops. Effort starts feeling unrewarded. Over time, this impacts productivity and overall job satisfaction.

There’s also a trust factor involved. The relationship between gig workers and platforms runs largely on digital systems. There’s no physical office to walk into, no direct manager to meet daily. Payment reliability becomes the strongest form of communication. When that system works smoothly, trust grows. When it doesn’t, doubt replaces confidence.

Another hidden effect is dependency on short-term borrowing. When payouts are delayed, some workers rely on friends, family, or small loans to bridge the gap. What begins as a temporary solution can slowly become a habit. Financial stability weakens not because of low earnings, but because of inconsistency.

The gig economy is built on speed and flexibility, but stability matters just as much. Regular payments don’t just provide money — they provide predictability. And predictability creates peace of mind.

At the end of the day, workers can adjust to hard work. They can manage long hours. They can handle pressure. But uncertainty around income is what truly drains energy.

In the gig world, timely payments are not just a transaction. They are reassurance. They are respect. And most importantly, they are the foundation of trust.

Running Cost Comparison: Petrol Bike vs EV for Delivery

Thinking about joining a delivery platform? Before you sign up just because the payouts look attractive, take a moment to look deeper.

Choosing a delivery platform is like choosing a job. On the surface, everything sounds great — flexible hours, bonuses, incentives. But once you start working, the real picture becomes clear.

Here are a few things every rider should check before joining:

1. Payment Consistency

This is the most important factor. Are payments made on time? Is it weekly, daily, or unpredictable?
Even a small delay can create stress — rent, fuel, groceries, EMIs — everything depends on cash flow.

2. Distance vs. Earnings

Don’t just look at the payout per order. Look at how far you have to travel for that payout.
If you’re riding 7–8 km for a small fee, fuel costs will quietly eat into your income.

3. Incentive Structure

Incentives always look exciting. But are they realistic?
If completing 20 deliveries in 6 hours sounds impossible, it probably is. Understand the conditions clearly.

4. Support System

What happens when there’s a payment issue or a customer complaint?
A good platform should have responsive rider support. If help is hard to reach, that’s a red flag.

5. Vehicle Costs

Are you using a petrol bike or an EV?
Fuel expenses are one of the biggest costs for riders. If the platform supports EV usage or offers charging support, that could make a big difference long term.

Final Thought:
Joining is easy. Choosing wisely is smart.
Don’t just chase short-term bonuses — look for long-term stability and steady earnings.
