Mumbai, September 5: Amid the tech layoffs in India, certain companies like TCS, Infosys, Wipro, and now Flipkart have tried opening new possibilities for employees or freshers. According to recent reports, Flipkart is aiming to create over 1 lakh jobs through its 11 new fulfilment centres ahead of the festive season. The Indian e-commerce giant will create jobs across its supply chain operations.

The reports said Flipkart would create roles like warehouse associates, inventory managers, Kirana partners, logistics coordinators, and delivery drivers. The e-commerce giant will reportedly hire 100,000 new jobs and open 11 new fulfilment centres. The company is planning to execute its plan ahead of its annual sales event, Flipkart Big Billion Days.
