As the festive season approaches, Amazon India has announced the creation of over 1.6 lakh seasonal jobs across its operations network to support its e-commerce and quick commerce businesses. This surge in employment is in line with the increased consumer spending and order volumes that typically accompany the festive season. The company's decision to hire these additional associates is driven by the growing demand for electronics, fashion, beauty, gifting, groceries, and home products.
Amazon India has onboarded the majority of these seasonal workers and is now providing them with the necessary training to handle the increased order volumes. These new associates will join Amazon's existing network of fulfillment and logistics centers, helping to pick, pack, ship, and deliver customer orders during the busy festive period.
Abhinav Singh, Vice President of Operations, Amazon India, emphasized the company's commitment to supporting its associates, ensuring that seasonal workers are provided with the same safety and welfare programs and benefits as other Amazon employees. Many of these seasonal associates will continue their involvement with Amazon beyond the festive season, while others will return year after year to contribute to the company's operations.
