E-commerce companies are busy preparing for the festive season. Now they are not only promoting their business but also opening new avenues of employment in different parts of the country. Meanwhile, online shopping platform Meesho has announced to provide more than 12 lakh seasonal jobs.

As the festive season approaches, the market becomes more active and new employment opportunities also increase. Meanwhile, e-commerce company Meesho has made a big announcement that it is going to create more than 12 lakh seasonal jobs in its seller and logistics network. This number is about 40 percent more than last year.

The special thing is that more than 70 percent of these jobs will be for people from small cities of the country i.e. Tier-3 and Tier-4 areas. Meesho sellers have hired about 5.5 lakh seasonal workers this festive season. These workers are also being trained for tasks like sorting, manufacturing and packaging so that the increasing demand of customers can be met.

Small cities will get big benefits

According to a report by Business Standards, Saurabh Pandey, an official of Meesho, said that this time the number of employment opportunities from tier-3 and tier-4 cities will be very high in the preparations. He believes that e-commerce should be made easy and accessible for every class and region. Therefore, Meesho is strengthening businessmen, manufacturers and logistics partners from small cities. Meesho has partnered with many third-party logistics companies.

Competition for employment in e-commerce companies

Like Meesho, other big companies are also preparing for the festive season. Flipkart has created more than 2.2 lakh seasonal jobs in warehousing, logistics, and delivery, which also provides opportunities for people with disabilities and special groups. Amazon India has also announced more than 1,50,000 seasonal jobs this year.

Along with this, Amazon has also made a new investment of Rs 2,000 crore in its infrastructure and has opened five new fulfillment centers in cities like Delhi NCR, Indore, Bhubaneswar, Kochi and Rajpura.
