Amazon India is creating close to 50,000 seasonal opportunities across its fulfilment and delivery network

As India continues to maintain social distancing to fight the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Amazon India firmly believes it has a unique role to play providing a critical service for the community; to help them get the items they need for their families without leaving their homes. Amazon India today announced that it has opened close to 50,000 seasonal roles to meet the surge in demand from people relying on Amazon’s service, particularly those most vulnerable to being out in public. This will be a variety of roles in their fulfillment centers and delivery network including part-time flexible work opportunities as independent contractors with Amazon Flex.

The associates will join other thousands of associates across Amazon India’s fulfillment and delivery network and assist them to pick, pack, ship and deliver customers’ orders placed for sellers more efficiently.

“One thing we’ve learned from the COVID-19 pandemic is how important a role Amazon and eCommerce can play for our customers as much as for small businesses & the economy. We take this responsibility seriously, and we’re proud of the work our teams are doing to help small and other businesses deliver to our customers through this difficult time. We want to continue helping customers all over India get everything they need so they can continue to practice social distancing. To enable this, we are creating work opportunities for close to 50,000 seasonal associates across our fulfillment and delivery network. This will also keep as many people as possible working during this pandemic while providing a safe work environment for them.” said Akhil Saxena, VP, Customer Fulfillment Operations, APAC, MENA & LATAM, Amazon.
