Shipyaari Speeds Up Diwali Deliveries with Shipyaari Sprint – Same-Day & Next-Day Shipping in 40+ Cities

• ByStartupStory     |    November 11, 2024

As India wraps up a vibrant Diwali shopping season, online shopping has once again broken records, hitting ₹1 lakh crore in sales this year – a whopping 23% increase from last year, according to Datum Intelligence. 

Businesses expect an increase in sales during Diwali, but this year was a little different. A lot of these orders were placed at the last minute due to the customer’s busy schedules. This changing consumer behaviour shows how much people now rely on quick and convenient deliveries, with shoppers from both big cities and smaller towns wanting their orders delivered at top speed. 

While you might be thinking quick commerce is the answer to meet this rising need for quick deliveries. Not all businesses can be listed on these websites, especially when it comes to big-ticket items that are in high demand during the festive season. The reasons being restricted SKUs, limited pincode serviceability, and a heavy strain on logistics. 

To meet this rising demand for speed, Shipyaari launched its flagship service, Shipyaari Sprint, offering same-day and next-day deliveries, setting a new standard for logistics across India.

Shipyaari Sprint helped businesses meet this demand by making sure customers received their orders without delay while eliminating the challenges of quick commerce, giving e-commerce platforms a chance to expand their reach and build stronger connections with shoppers during this busy time.

In conversation with Startup Story, Vishal Totla, Co-founder of Shipyaari said “This Diwali season, Shipyaari successfully met all delivery promises, even with high demand, thanks to our strong network of dedicated routes and our ability to reach the highest number of pincodes and cities across India. With plans to expand to all Tier 1 cities by the end of the financial year, we’re excited to bring this level of service to even more people and businesses, helping them meet their customers’ needs with speed and reliability.”

Beyond Diwali: Shipyaari Sprint’s Continued Impact

During the festive rush, the demand for fast deliveries was high as customers placed their orders last minute due to their busy schedules. Shipyaari Sprint met this demand head-on, helping businesses reduce order cancellations and achieve an impressive 99% on-time delivery rate, even during peak periods. 

This speed and reliability not only helped businesses keep their customers happy but also boosted sales. Shipyaari’s dependable service allowed businesses to stand out from the competition by ensuring that shoppers received their purchases on time, enhancing their overall shopping experience.

“Yeh Naya India Hai, Yeh Speed Ke Liye Adjust Nahi Karega” Campaign

Shipyaari’s new campaign, “Yeh Naya India Hai, Yeh Speed Ke Liye Adjust Nahi Karega,” highlights how customer expectations have changed. The tagline reflects the demands of a fast-paced India that values quality and efficiency in delivery. 

But what stands out, beyond the promise of same and next-day deliveries, is the subtle yet powerful messaging woven into their three-film ad campaign. 

Neha Bagchi (Director, Marketing) said, “Indians today aren’t just chasing value—it’s about chasing better experiences. Exposure to global standards has reshaped expectations, making us less tolerant to anything subpar. With Shipyaari Sprint, we’ve shifted the spotlight to these redefined expectations and how we can elevate every delivery interaction. It’s about delivering more than just speed; it’s about ensuring that convenience and quality shape every customer experience.”

Helping E-commerce Businesses Stay Ahead

During high-demand shopping seasons, slow deliveries can mean lost sales and unhappy customers. 

When customers know they’ll get fast delivery, they’re more likely to choose these brands again, lowering customer acquisition costs and increasing customer loyalty. By reducing the time between order placement and fulfillment businesses can reduce chances of order cancellations and returns, solving one of their biggest problems i.e. return to origin.

Shipyaari Sprint’s same-day and next-day delivery options are helping businesses take a leap towards the future of logistics.
