Flipkart, NCVET Join Hands to Skill India’s E-Commerce Workforce

The partnership aims to deliver nationally recognized, industry training programs that enhance employability across India’s rapidly growing digital commerce and logistics sectors.

Flipkart and the National Council for Vocational Education and Training, which is part of the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, have reached a agreement to improve India's ecosystem for education and training. In keeping with the Skill India Mission, the partnership seeks to provide nationally recognized, industry training pathways for the quickly growing e-commerce and transportation workforce. Senior representatives from MSDE, NCVET and the Flipkart Group were present when the deal was signed at Kaushal Bhawan in New Delhi.

To provide countrywide benchmarked standards that improve employability and support long-term economic development, NCVET, which was founded under the guidance of MSDE, regulates and ensures quality throughout India's vocational education, training and skilling framework. As part of the partnership, NCVET will assist Flipkart in developing the capacity to become a reputable dual-granting organization for certification, training and assessment.

Flipkart will be able to create and implement training programs that are in line with the National Skills Qualification Framework due to the partnership, ensuring constant quality and industry relevance. Additionally, it is anticipated to help in the creation of standardized, superior training and certification programs that enhance employability, especially for applicants from disadvantaged backgrounds. In order to improve long-term career mobility, trainees will benefit from organized program delivery, thorough assessments and recognized certifications that may be safely saved on DigiLocker.

According to NCVET, the program will help close important skill gaps in the e-commerce supply chain, develop a workforce that is certified and prepared for the workforce and support India's goal of becoming a future-ready, worldwide competitive economy.

Debashree Mukherjee, Secretary of the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship and Chairperson of NCVET, commented on the agreement, stating that it is a reflection of continuous efforts to make India's skilling architecture more credible, industry-responsive, and outcome-based. Skilling is essential to developing India's digital commerce infrastructure.
