E-commerce marketplace Meesho expects to create more than one million seasonal job opportunities across its seller and logistics ecosystem during the upcoming festive season. The company estimates that around 650,000 jobs will be generated through its seller network, while another 375,000 roles will emerge across logistics operations. Nearly 130,000 sellers are expected to recruit temporary workers for packaging, manufacturing, production, warehousing and inventory management as they prepare additional stock, introduce new products and expand festive collections. On the logistics side, Meesho’s Valmo platform and third-party logistics partners are expected to increase capacity, creating seasonal roles in delivery, parcel sorting, delivery-centre operations and supervision. Meesho said the festive period provides an important opportunity for businesses across its ecosystem to expand while generating employment. The announcement comes as major Indian e-commerce companies prepare for their annual festive sales, which typically drive a significant share of yearly business volumes. The seasonal hiring is expected to support increased consumer demand while providing temporary employment opportunities across multiple sectors and locations.
