Meesho, a city-based e-tailer, on Monday said it would offer seasonal job opportunities to 12 lakh people during this festive season.

These positions would comprise Meesho’s seller and logistics network and over 70% of these placements would be in tier 3 and tier 4 regions. This year’s hiring represented a 40% increase in seasonal jobs compared to last year, the firm said.

On the breakup of this mass hiring, Meesho said, its sellers this year have hired 5.5 lakh seasonal workers as part of their requirements for the festive season while logistics partnerships have helped generate 6.7 lakh seasonal job opportunities, a 90% growth over last year’s festive hiring requirement for logistics, it said.

Sourabh Pandey, CXO, Fulfilment and Experience, Meesho said “The festive season is when many Indian households place their trust in e-commerce. In anticipation of this peak period, we have created over some 12 lakh seasonal opportunities, with a significant share emerging from India’s tier-3 cities.”
