Amazon has partnered with more than 500 trucking partners in India who ensure on-time, reliable and safe movement of customer packages across the country. 35 year old Joycy Lyngdoh from Meghalaya, the first female truck driver with Amazon’s trucking partner in India is redefining the stereotypical gender roles.
After taking up driving as a full-time job to earn a living, she has motivated many other female drivers in her community. A seasoned professional with over 6 years of driving experience, Joycy dared to turn her passion for driving into a profession and cannot imagine herself doing anything else.
The company facilitates the trucking partners to secure health and accident insurance benefits for drivers who directly like Joycy, by engaging directly with our preferred insurance providers. Further, it has enabled drivers through technology driven solutions for safe driving and to move packages efficiently by guiding them on navigation, on time movement, to report delays and disruptions while moving from one location to another. VenkateshTiwari, Director – Middle Mile Operations, Amazon India, said “Joyce has successfully participated in these programs and serves as a great example for all those who are looking for new opportunities in the logistics field. People like her are driving the principle of an AtmanirbharBharat, and we are proud to be empowering them.”
