An American multinational technology company, Amazon India has partnered with the Indian Coast Guard to provide career opportunities for ex-service personnel.

The collaboration highlights Amazon’s vision of building an inclusive workplace and leveraging these veterans’ unique skill sets for various organizational roles.

Deepti Varma, VP, of People Experience Technology, Amazon India, Japan and Emerging Markets, said, “At Amazon, we are very humbled to build further on our efforts to strengthen diversity, equity, and inclusion at our workplace.”

“Due to the deep appreciation of the wealth of experience and unique perspective of ex-service personnel, Amazon runs the Military Veterans Employment Programme globally”, Deepti Varma added.

In August 2019, the company launched the Military Veterans Employment program in partnership with the Army Welfare Placement Organization (AWPO).

The program aimed to create numerous opportunities for military veterans and their spouses within Amazon’s fulfilment network across India.

Earlier in September, Amazon India signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with five State Governments, including Haryana, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.

The MoU which extends until 2026 aims to provide skilling and employment opportunities to PwD candidates in the five states. This is in line with the PMO vision on inclusive development, and self-reliance to build an Atmanirbhar Bharat. 

Through this initiative, Amazon aims to provide PwDs, the needed support with on-the-job training, intervention and an environment of acceptance and inclusion.

The opportunities will be provided across Amazon’s Operations Network, i.e., Fulfilment Centres, Sortation Centres and Delivery Stations for various roles, including stowing, picking, packing, and sorting among other roles.
