Innovation ChallengeIndia EVolve

The India EVolve Innovation Challenge has been designed to nurture innovation that can accelerate zero emission deliveries in the Indian last mile delivery sector. The last mile delivery sector refers to the final leg of the supply chain, where goods are transported from a distribution hub, warehouse, restaurant or fulfillment center to the end consumer's location, typically a residence or business.

The Challenge seeks to source and showcase innovative solutions across four categories, including technology, social impact, governance, and financial viability.

The Challenge is anchored by the Sustainable Mobility Network. 

Sustainable Mobility Network

The Sustainable Mobility Network is an informal collective of 30+ organizations across 6 states and multiple cities in India working to decarbonize transport and ensure sustainable, inclusive and equitable mobility for all in our cities.

The India EVolve Innovation Challenge is being curated and implemented by Sustera Foundation, Purpose Climate Lab, Climate Group, EV100 Initiative, Waatavaran Foundation, Jhatkaa.org, SwitchOn Foundation, Asar, Clean Mobility Shift, Help Delhi Breathe, Young Leaders for Active Citizenship, and Bengaluru Moving.
