Ekart Franchise & Delivery Partner Program – How to Apply

If you’ve ever wondered how to earn money through Ekart franchise network beyond just applying for a delivery job there are actually a few different ways in. Ekart runs multiple partner programs aimed at different levels of investment and involvement, from a zero-investment individual delivery role to a full franchise-style business setup. This guide walks through each option, what they typically cost, and how to apply.

Overview: Ekart’s Partner Program Options

Ekart’s partnership ecosystem is broader than most people realize. Based on the company’s own program pages, the main routes are:

• Wishmaster (Delivery Partner) — the individual, low-investment option where you personally deliver parcels
• Channel Partner / Franchise — a business-level setup where you run parcel booking operations for an area
• Last Mile Agent (LMA) Program — designed for entrepreneurs wanting to build and manage their own delivery operation
• Kirana Partner Program — for existing store owners with spare space to register as a local drop/delivery point

Each one suits a different kind of person, so let’s go through them individually.

Option 1: Wishmaster – Individual Delivery Partner

This is the simplest, lowest-investment way to earn with Ekart. Ekart calls its individual delivery partners “Wishmasters,” and the network currently includes well over 1,20,000 active Wishmasters across India.

What it involves: You personally deliver parcels in your local area using your own two-wheeler, earning per delivery completed.

How to apply:

1. Download the Ekart Delivery Partner app (available on Google Play and the Apple App Store), or register through the official partner page.
2. Fill in your personal details and upload the required documents (ID proof, address proof, vehicle documents where applicable).
3. Once approved, start accepting and delivering parcels through the app.

Eligibility: Generally open to anyone 18 or older with a valid ID and a vehicle. Formal education requirements are minimal the role is commonly open even to those without a college degree, as long as you meet the basic age and document requirements. Ekart typically does not charge a joining fee for this individual delivery partner route.

Investment needed: Minimal mainly your own vehicle, smartphone, and basic safety gear. Some estimates put a realistic starting cost around ₹50,000 or less if you already own a two-wheeler.

Option 2: Channel Partner / Franchise

For those wanting a more business-oriented setup rather than delivering parcels yourself, Ekart’s Channel Partner Program lets you book and manage C2C, B2C, and B2B shipments for a given area essentially running a small logistics counter/hub rather than doing deliveries personally.

What Ekart’s official program page states:

• No deposit or royalty fees
• Potential to become profitable within roughly one year at a volume of around 30–35 parcels booked per day
• Support includes competitive rates, flexible pricing, and branding/marketing assistance

How to apply: Applications are submitted through Ekart’s official franchise page, where you fill out a form with your personal and business details and submit the required documents for review.

Investment needed: This is the part where figures vary quite a bit depending on the source and the scale of setup smaller delivery-partner-style setups are reported in the range of roughly ₹1–5 lakh, while a larger, fully equipped hub can run considerably higher, with some estimates going up to ₹20–30 lakh for bigger operations. Because these figures aren’t fixed and depend heavily on your city, area demand, and setup size, treat any number you see online as a rough estimate rather than a guaranteed figure the accurate, current investment requirement will only come from Ekart directly once you submit an application and speak with their partnership team.

Option 3: Last Mile Agent (LMA) Program

This program is pitched specifically at entrepreneurs who want to build and manage their own delivery operation under Ekart’s umbrella essentially a step up from being a solo Wishmaster, where you’d manage a small team of delivery riders rather than delivering everything yourself.

Best for: People with some capital and a willingness to manage a small team, rather than working solo or running a full parcel-booking hub.

Option 4: Kirana Partner Program

If you already run a small retail store (kirana shop) with a bit of spare space, this program lets you register as a local pickup/drop point for Ekart shipments in your area a low-effort way to earn additional income without a separate setup.

Documents You’ll Typically Need

Regardless of which program you’re applying for, be ready with:

• Identity proof (Aadhaar, PAN, etc.)
• Address proof
• Bank account details for payments
• GST registration (required for franchise/business partner models; generally not required for individual Wishmaster delivery partners)
• Vehicle documents, if applicable to your role

A Word of Caution Before You Invest

Because investment figures for the franchise/channel partner route vary so widely across different sources and because this is a genuine financial commitment it’s worth taking a few precautions before moving forward:

• Apply only through Ekart’s official website or app. Fraudulent “franchise agents” impersonating Ekart to collect upfront fees are a known issue across the Indian franchise/gig-work space in general.
• Get exact costs, terms, and profitability expectations in writing directly from Ekart’s partnership team before making any payment.
• Ekart does not typically offer direct loans for franchise setup, though your franchise agreement may help you apply for a business loan through a bank if needed.

This article is intended as general informational guidance, not financial or investment advice — always verify current terms directly with Ekart before committing any capital.
