KTR launched Flipkart’s new Fulfillment Centre at Sangareddy from Hyderabad virtually on Tuesday
He said a model for creating a workforce that was readily employable would not only benefit e-commerce giants but also the Retail Association of India
Involving government agencies like Telangana Academy of Skills and Knowledge in creating readily available workforce with necessary skillset would be in the best interest of the industry and the State as well
This way companies can avoid training employees again for three to six months after recruitment, he said
“Let Telangana be the leader in making a compelling statement on gig jobs and gig economy and how e-commerce can actually flourish while being socially responsible” Rama Rao said
E-commerce was fantastic in terms of convenience, benefits for consumer, price discovery, seamless operations and cutting down unnecessary middlemen, he said
Many people due to lack of better opportunities were taking up temporary jobs in one e-commerce or the other, he added
The Minister wanted Flipkart to explore possibilities of setting up a 100 percent women run Fulfillment Centre in Telangana at least in the day shift.
