Swiggy and the Indian government collaborate to provide job and skill-training possibilities
By MYBRANDBOOK
Swiggy and the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) have launched a partnership to introduce "Swiggy Skills." With Swiggy's extensive food delivery and rapid commerce network, this venture seeks to offer employment and skill-building opportunities. Jayant Chaudhary, Minister of State (Independent Charge), Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, and Minister of State for Education, officially introduced the program.
"For India to realise the goal of Viksit Bharat @2047, the logistics sector will play a key role," said Chaudhary. "Keeping that in mind, our government has launched the National Logistics Policy in India. We are also creating an enabling ecosystem for growth in this sector where skilling and education work hand in hand. Today’s partnership showcases how public-private partnerships can accelerate and create new avenues for the workforce in the sector. There are huge opportunities in this space, and we wish to see more corporates engaging with us.”
Swiggy Skills addresses the growing need for a skilled workforce in India's booming food and retail sectors.
"India’s F&B and retail sectors are expanding rapidly, contributing around 13% of the overall GDP and generating significant employment," said Rohit Kapoor, CEO of Swiggy Food Marketplace. "As digitization accelerates growth in these sectors, there is an urgent need for a skilled workforce across the entire value chain.”
Swiggy Skills will focus on four key areas:
Digital Skill Development: Integrating with MSDE's Skill India Digital Hub (SIDH) to provide online courses, certifications, and training modules to Swiggy's delivery partners and restaurant staff.
Connecting Trained Youth with Opportunities: Facilitating job placements for individuals trained under MSDE's program for operational roles in retail, logistics, and F&B businesses within Swiggy's ecosystem.
Direct Recruitment for Swiggy Instamart: Recruiting 3,000 individuals across India for various roles within Swiggy's quick commerce operations.
Advanced Training and Internships: Providing training and internships to 200 MSDE-trained individuals in senior-level quick commerce operations and leveraging Swiggy's expertise to create training modules on emerging technologies and industry trends.
The MSDE and Swiggy have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) formalizing their commitment to collaborate on creating employment, internship, and training opportunities for individuals in restaurant operations and retail management.
