KYE Air Mobility, a leading drone operator in India, has launched the country's first ever all-women drone delivery team. This initiative showcases the capabilities of women drone pilots and Skye Walkers, who successfully executed seamless, end-to-end deliveries of essential goods—including medicines, groceries, and even iPhones.

While the primary goal was to promote women's participation in drone operations, the initiative also highlights the rapid evolution of the logistics and delivery industry over the past decade. Advancements in technology, improved internet connectivity, and the rise of e-commerce giants have reshaped last-mile delivery, making it faster, more efficient, and highly accessible.

Today, everything from flowers and food to medical supplies and money are delivered with unprecedented speed and accuracy. The post-pandemic boom has further accelerated this transformation, with last-mile delivery witnessing an exponential surge in demand.

The evolution of delivery Before modern technology, delivery services relied heavily on human and animal power. Goods and messages were transported manually, making walking the most basic form of delivery, especially for short distances in densely populated areas.
