FedEx, a subsidiary of FedEx Corp, has announced a collaboration with Invest India to support the Indian government's One District One Product (ODOP) initiative.

The program supports local artisans and manufacturers, contributing to the Make in India vision by fostering innovation and enabling competition on a global scale.

"FedEx was founded on the belief that a connected world is a better world," said Kami Viswanathan, president of FedEx Middle East, India Subcontinent, and Africa (MEISA). "Through our collaboration with Invest India, we aim to address challenges faced by local producers, providing tailored solutions to simplify global logistics. Together, we are boosting exports and driving sustainable economic growth."
