Amazon India has created more than 100,000 seasonal job opportunities across its operations network. These opportunities include direct and indirect jobs across India in cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Lucknow, and Chennai, among others. Ahead of Amazon Great Indian Festival that kicks off on October 8 (with early access to Prime customers starting October 7), Amazon India has already onboarded the majority of these new hires into its existing network. The new hires will pick, pack, ship, and deliver customer orders safely and efficiently.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to Amazon's commitment to delivering exceptional service to customers. The work environment and facilities, with a particular focus on everyone’s health and safety, are truly commendable. I am delighted that I can support my family while also advancing professionally,” said Selim S K, a recent seasonal hire at Amazon India.
India’s most loved online shopping destination
New hires also include customer service associates, some of whom are part of the virtual customer service model, aimed at providing elevated customer experience.
The festive season is always a special time at Amazon. Recent research conducted by Nielsen Media suggests that 75% of consumers indicated that online shopping serves as a convenient one-stop shop, with 81% of customers indicating their intent to shop online.
“Beyond elevating customer satisfaction, seasonal hiring plays a vital role in empowering individuals with work opportunities and financial independence, and more importantly, boosting the festive economy. We are looking forward to creating a joyous festive season for our customers, sellers, associates, partners, and employees across India," says Saxena.
