Bucking industry caution, Flipkart on seasonal hiring spree for festive shopping fervour

Homegrown e-commerce major Flipkart is set to create over one lakh direct and indirect seasonal jobs across its supply chain, as the digital commerce player gears up for the festive season. It is also slated to host the tenth edition of its flagship sale ‘The Big Billion Days’ (TBBD) during the period.

“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,” said Hemant Badri, Senior Vice president and Head of Supply Chain, Customer Experience, and ReCommerce, Flipkart Group.
