The DSP program is a last-mile delivery model where Amazon India partners with Small and Mid-sized businesses (SMBs) to deliver packages to Amazon customers. For many partners, this program is their first entrepreneurial venture. They leverage their local knowledge of the community and the technological support offered by Amazon India to seamlessly fulfil delivery promises to customers.
