The majority of the recruitments are being undertaken to enhance capabilities for last mile delivery and therefore Kirana store partners make up for the bulk of hiring, taking the total number of store partners to 25,000, which is about 30% higher than last year, to cater to about 70% of the deliveries. The on-ground staff will play a pivotal role in offering optimal delivery to customers during this festive season.”
