India E-Commerce Giants Hire Thousands for Festive Season

E-commerce companies in India are ramping up hiring to meet the expected surge in demand during the festive season. Amazon India announced it is offering over 1.6 lakh temporary positions across its operations network, spanning large metros and tier 2 and 3 cities.

The new associates will join Amazon's existing pan-India operations network, helping pick, pack, ship, and deliver customer orders safely and reliably during the festive period.

Meesho, a Bengaluru-headquartered e-commerce marketplace, expects to create over 10 lakh seasonal job opportunities across its seller and logistics ecosystem to meet the surge in demand.
