Amazon India has created more than 100,000 seasonal job opportunities across its operations network. These opportunities include direct and indirect jobs across India in cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Lucknow, and Chennai, among others.
Ahead of the Amazon Great Indian Festival that kicks off on October 8 (with early access to Prime customers starting October 7), Amazon India has already onboarded the majority of these new hires into its existing network. The new hires will pick, pack, ship, and deliver customer orders safely and efficiently.
Selim S K, a recent seasonal hire at Amazon India said, “I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to Amazon’s commitment to delivering exceptional service to customers.”
“The work environment and facilities, with a particular focus on everyone’s health and safety, are truly commendable. I am delighted that I can support my family while also advancing professionally,” Selim S K added.
“Beyond elevating customer satisfaction, seasonal hiring plays a vital role in empowering individuals with work opportunities and financial independence, and more importantly, boosting the festive economy. We are looking forward to creating a joyous festive season for our customers, sellers, associates, partners, and employees across India,” says Saxena.
The new hires also include customer service associates, some of whom are part of the virtual customer service model, aimed at providing elevated customer experience.
Earlier, Amazon announced that it is hiring 250,000 employees throughout the U.S. in full-time, seasonal, and part-time roles across its operations network, and 30,000 of those will be across California.
A diverse range of roles—from packing and picking to sorting and shipping—are available to applicants from all backgrounds and experience levels. The flexibility of jobs available come with a wide range of hours—full- and part-time—and excellent pay and benefits.
In 2023, Amazon has added many new benefits, including a new emergency savings program and a financial assistance pilot program that has helped save hourly employees nearly $20 million—all available from day one of employment.
