Demand for faster delivery

The growing competition in e-commerce has increased the demand for faster delivery. For instance, in 2020, Swiggy (food delivery company based in Bengaluru, India) partnered with drone and ANRA Technologies (traffic management solution provider headquartered in Washington DC, US) to test beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) drones for deliveries. ANRA-led consortium which includes Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Ropar (engineering college in Punjab, India) and BetterDrones (drone training service provider headquartered in UP, India) have collaborated to start pilots on delivering consumable items on-demand to residents in and around IIT, Ropar campus. Swiggy customers in the campus will be able to place on-demand orders for snacks, food items, beverages and other essentials using the Swiggy app powered by the ANRA Technologies’ SmartSkies platform. Such demand for faster delivery is expected to drive the global short-range drone package delivery market.
