Flipkart has announced the creation of 2.2 lakh seasonal jobs in supply chain, logistics, and delivery roles ahead of the festive season. The company's logistics network will also see the addition of 650 new delivery hubs in Tier 2 and 3 cities. This hiring initiative aligns with Flipkart's commitment to inclusive hiring, with a 10% rise in female hiring and a focus on providing opportunities for persons with disabilities (PWDs).The festive season hiring trend is expected to generate up to 2,00,000 jobs across various sectors, including retail and e-commerce [1]. Amazon India, for instance, has created over 1,50,000 seasonal jobs across its operations network [2]. This surge in hiring is driven by a 15-20% year-on-year increase in gig and temporary employment [2].
Flipkart's emphasis on multilingual capabilities, customer-handling skills, and digital proficiency is in line with industry trends. The company is prioritizing these skills, especially for roles in in-store sales, credit card promotions, and delivery fulfilment. This approach is also aimed at tapping into the growing consumption hubs in Tier 2 and 3 cities.
Many of those hired by Flipkart are expected to continue their journey with the company beyond the festive period, with a significant number returning to work year after year. This proactive workforce planning is a strategy adopted by many large companies to manage increased customer demand efficiently [2].
