Introducing SARAL by Shiprocket – A One-Stop Mobile App for Hyperlocal & Intra-City Delivery

Recently, Shiprocket forayed into the world of hyperlocal delivery services. We enabled a platform for sellers to perform hyperlocal deliveries within a radius of 50 km at the rate starting at Rs.37. 

Shiprocket hyperlocal services enable you to ship products such as groceries, food items, personal and baby care items, and many more with multiple hyperlocal delivery partners that include names like Shadowfax, Wefast, and Dunzo.

We got an overwhelming response from our sellers who found this service to be extremely useful for their small scale business. Especially during the lockdown, hyperlocal deliveries worked great for sellers who wanted to continue shipping to nearby buyers. To make hyperlocal deliveries much more accessible and convenient, we present to you our Android app for hyperlocal delivery – SARAL.

Let’s quickly have a look at what is SARAL and what it has in store for your hyperlocal and eCommerce business-
