About the Challenge

The India EVolve Innovation Challenge invites young creative minds from across India to ideate scalable solutions to decarbonize India’s transport sector. Focusing on technology, social impact, governance, and financial viability, this challenge aims to shape sustainable transportation’s future by gathering innovative ideas and thoughts that can be implemented and scaled specifically to reduce impact of the last mile parcel DELIVERY sector.

While many companies in India’s last-mile delivery sector have acknowledged the need for transition and expressed a willingness to explore sustainable alternatives, it is crucial for youth, civil society, government agencies, and policymakers to actively encourage and support these companies and startups in adopting zero-emission last-mile parcel delivery solutions.
