Ecom Express plans to temporarily employ 30,000 people in the next few weeks for the festive season. Ecom Express looks after the ‘logistic’ facility including the delivery of goods.
The company plans to appoint new people to meet the increased demand from e-commerce companies during festivals. The company hired 7,500 employees in the last few months to complete the ‘lockdown’ and subsequent ‘online’ order. Prior to COVID-19, the company’s workforce was around 23,000.
People are turning to e-commerce for Covid-19 among grocery items, medicine, and other items. Saurabh Deep Singla, Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resource Officer, Ecom Express, said, “The epidemic has taken the e-commerce industry to a different level.” During the festivals, our e-commerce customers are making a lot of aggressive plans and we want to make sure that they can meet the demand.
We have started appointments. This process will continue till October 10 and we expect to create 30,000 temporary jobs during the festivals. “The company’s workforce in August stood at 30,500. “Last year we hired 20,000 people before the festivals,” he said. Though these jobs were temporary, about a third of them have become permanent because we are seeing an increase in orders even after festivals. “
E-commerce companies believe that a large part of their business will come during the festivals and they have made large investments to increase capacity so that orders can be better managed. Walmart-owned Flipkart has recently added more than 50,000 grocery stores to strengthen the supply chain and increase delivery capacity.
At the same time, Amazon India announced the addition of five centers (Visakhapatnam, Farukhnagar, Mumbai, Bangalore, and Ahmedabad). It has also announced the expansion of its existing eight centers.
