New Delhi: Delhivery Limited on Thursday announced a collaboration with NVIDIA to develop AI-powered location intelligence solutions tailored to India’s complex geography and informal addressing systems, marking a significant push into proprietary digital infrastructure.
The announcement was made at the India AI Summit, where the Gurugram-based logistics major said it plans to leverage NVIDIA’s accelerated computing stack, including CV-CUDA and Nemotron open models, to build highly accurate, scalable and locally relevant digital maps. The platform will draw on Delhivery’s petabytes of proprietary shipment data accumulated over several years.
India’s addressing ecosystem remains largely unstructured, often dependent on landmarks, phonetic spellings and colloquial descriptions rather than standardised coordinates. Conventional global mapping platforms frequently struggle with such nuances, particularly in dense urban clusters and semi-urban markets.
Delhivery said the proposed AI layer would evaluate capabilities such as address disambiguation to differentiate between phonetically similar locations, contextual inference to interpret free-form address descriptions, and predictive sequencing to optimise last-mile delivery routes in congested and unplanned neighbourhoods.
“Bharat needs mapping solutions that operate at scale and understand the pulse of its streets. Standard global mapping tools often struggle with the nuances of Indian addresses,” said Kapil Bharati, Co-founder and CTO at Delhivery. He added that combining billions of shipment records with NVIDIA’s AI infrastructure could unlock a new location intelligence layer to power digital commerce growth.
Vishal Dhupar, Managing Director, Asia South at NVIDIA, said the collaboration demonstrates how AI infrastructure and open foundation models can address large-scale geospatial challenges and enable a new wave of AI-driven services.
Industry analysts view the move as a strategic extension of Delhivery’s data moat. Beyond logistics efficiency, a robust India-first mapping platform could potentially support fintech, e-commerce, mobility and public services that depend on precise location data.
The company said the platform is being designed as foundational digital infrastructure with a focus on performance, scalability and local relevance — signalling a broader ambition beyond parcel delivery optimisation.
Shares of Delhivery (NSE: DELHIVERY; BSE: 543529) will likely be in focus as investors assess the long-term monetisation potential of its data-led AI initiatives in India’s fast-expanding digital economy.
