Indian eCommerce Industry Creates Huge Demand for DeliveryPersonnel

Since the last decade or so, consumers all acrossthe globe have embraced the concept of onlineshopping quite voraciously. Many billions ofdollars worth of merchandise is sold each year

from thousands of online shopping websites that are in fact themselves increasing at a very fast pace.

Reports suggest that this phenomenal rise in eCommerce is not just limited to the western world but evenin South Asian countries like India and China. India, for instance, has become a hot-spot for eCommerceactivity in the past decade.

Three websites particularly, Flipkart, Snapdeal and Amazon, are controlling the major chunk of the onlineshopping business in India. These websites alone have registered such high volume of business in therecent few years that in the metro cities if India, they have virtually wiped out many traditional brick andmortar stores by overtaking their business. In proportion to the high volume sales that they generate,these eCommerce websites have a massive requirement for eCommerce delivery services.

Depending on company to company, these door to door delivery services are handled in-house oroutsourced to professional courier services companies of India. Either ways, the fact is that themerchandise needs to be delivered to the customer premises in good shape. This results in a very hugedemand for delivery personnel.

According to the news portal indiatimes.com, the demand has accelerated to about 100,000 bikers in Nov2015, according to staffing firms which are facing a massive shortage of up to 70%. A year ago, onlineretailers in the country required just about 40,000 bikers to deliver the goods.

Industry experts opine that this festive season, up to one lakh jobs will be created in primarily thedelivery, logistics and customer care space in India. The spike in the number of ecommerce companieshas led to a demand-supply gap where companies are finding it challenging to hire delivery talent.
