Flipkart has partnered with National Skill Development Corporation’s (NSDC) Logistics Sector Skill Council (LSC) to train 20,000 of its wish masters (delivery executives) across the country. This is the first ever partnership between an e-commerce company and LSC and is intended to certify the supply chain workforce in all aspects of product delivery and customer experience. In its commitment to provide a career progression to its workforce, Flipkart also envisions to have a robust training program along with LSC for its additional 30,000 strong supply chain workforce.
As part of the training program, Flipkart in conjunction with LSC is conducting 8-hour training modules for its delivery executives to impart them with the knowledge on the finer nuances of delivery mechanism. From preparing for delivery to understanding of local transportation laws and regulations and providing sound knowledge of end-to-end supply chain, these training sessions are aimed at imparting a holistic view of the e-commerce industry to the workforce. Apart from these, it also includes imparting the necessary soft skills to interact with customers better through behavior-focused sessions, including role-plays. These finer aspects play a stellar role in increasing efficiency at hub level and is one of the key components of improving customer experience.
