Thanks to the festive season and its The Big Billion Days (TBBD) sale, e-commerce major Flipkart is gearing up to create over 1,00,000 direct and indirect jobs in its supply chain, spanning fulfillment centers, sortation centers and delivery hubs across the country.
The company, owned by Walmart, said that these seasonal jobs include local delivery partners, women, persons with disabilities (PWDs), and others, thus creating avenues for a diverse supply chain talent.
The hired personnel will have to undergo training in the supply chain process for their respective function and be trained to handle hand-held devices, PoS machines, scanners, various mobile applications, and more.
The company said it has created skilling and training opportunities for thousands of workers in the run-up to the festive season, enabling millions of packages to be delivered even in the remotest parts of the country.
Hemant Badri, senior vice president and head of supply chain, customer experience, and ReCommerce, Flipkart Group, said, “TBBD is about scale, innovating for India, and impacting the ecosystem. It allows millions of new customers to experience the goodness of e-commerce, many of them for the first time. The complexity and scale during TBBD require us to scale up for capacity, storage, placement, sorting, packaging, human resources, training, delivery, and the entire supply chain, and this scale is always unprecedented.”
