Uber and BigBasket have partnered to deliver everyday essentials to people amid the ongoing nationwide Covid-19 lockdown.

A business-to-business partnership, Uber's driver partners will help BigBasket with last-mile delivery in four cities to begin with- Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chandigarh and Noida. More cities will be added with time.

"We are looking at similar partnerships with other e-commerce players and supermarkets to help with last mile delivery. Uber is not charging any commissions for these trips. The commission shared with the partners will be passed on fully to the driver partner, helping them to have additional earnings during these hard times," said
