Covid-19: bigbasket to hire 10,000 people for warehouses, delivery

Online grocery platform bigbasket is looking at hiring 10,000 people for its warehouses and last-mile delivery to clear pending orders quickly and meet the spike in orders on account of the nation-wide lockdown.

“We are looking to hire 10,000 people for our warehouses and last-mile delivery. This hiring will happen across all 26 cities that we are present in,” bigbasket’s Vice President-Human Resources, Tanuja Tewari, told PTI. She added that the pressure is being felt across all cities with the challenges being higher in tier-I cities.

E-commerce companies have been struggling to deliver orders after the 21-day lockdown, imposed to contain the spread of the deadly coronavirus.
