Flipkart hires 23,000 in 3 months as demand for e-commerce services surges

E-commerce firm Flipkart said it is continuing to strengthen the supply chain to help deliver products across the length and breadth of the country in the safest ways while creating additional employment in the supply chain. In the past three months, over March-May 2021, Walmart-owned Flipkart has hired 23,000 people across the country in various capacities across its supply chain, including delivery executives.

Hemant Badri, senior vice-president, supply chain at Flipkart, said there is a growing demand for e-commerce services across the country as people continue to remain indoors to fight the virus.

“This has necessitated a ramp-up of our supply chain, creating thousands of employment opportunities,” said Badri.
