Amid all this chaos, a company has gone on a hiring spree. This company has hired 23,000 candidates in 3 months. Yes, you heard it right! E-commerce giant Flipkart on Tuesday said it has hired 23,000 people across its supply chain, including delivery executives, in the last three months.  

The hiring was done keeping the growing demand for e-commerce services across the country, as people continue to remain indoors to fight the pandemic, which has necessitated a ramp-up of supply chain, the company said in a statement, reported IANS. 

"All new hires will be covered with our healthcare and wellness initiatives to ensure their safety during these testing times," said Hemant Badri, Senior Vice-President, Supply Chain at Flipkart. 

The new hires are being trained virtually via a mix of classroom and digital training to enhance their understanding of the supply chain management. 

With this additional infrastructure, the marketplace will bring the ease of online grocery shopping to more users across Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Coimbatore, and Hyderabad. This will also help Flipkart cater to over 73,000 grocery orders per day.  

Last month, the e-commerce company ramped up grocery fulfilment centre capacity across Lucknow, Pune, Ahmedabad, Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Patna. It currently serves close to 64,000 orders a day.
