Flipkart, India’s indigenous e-commerce platform, and the National Skills Development Corporation (NSDC) have entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to enable students and aspiring individuals to acquire essential skills for a career in the e-commerce, retail, and warehousing industries.
As part of this agreement, Flipkart will provide training, skill development, upskilling, and certification opportunities for candidates seeking employment in various sectors.
Speaking at the signing of the MoU, Shri Ved Mani Tiwari, NSDC Director, said, “This MoU is a significant milestone in NSDC’s efforts to equip citizens with practical job skills that align with the needs of the industry.”
“Together with Flipkart, we aim to empower candidates with the necessary skill sets needed to succeed in India’s e-commerce, retail and logistics sectors”, Ved Mani Tiwari added.
Ved Mani Tiwari further said, “We plan to take this alliance across the length and breadth of the country to help job seekers get employment of their choice.”

As part of the agreement between Flipkart and NSDC, Flipkart’s ‘Project Bright Initiative’ will offer free online courses to enhance students’ skill sets for pursuing a career in India’s fast-growing e-commerce sector.
The courses will impart the basics of e-commerce, soft skills, and customer service skills to increase the learners’ employability. Flipkart has sought NSDC’s support for accreditation and certification of courses offered under this project.
The program’s goal is to facilitate their placement across the broader e-commerce and retail sectors.
Reinforcing Flipkart’s commitment to India’s e-commerce sector, the MoU also aims to upskill candidates in the warehousing sector through training under the Flipkart Supply Chain Academy while providing them with certification post the successful completion of the course.
In addition, the MoU entails Flipkart’s participation as an employer in the NSDC Kaushal Mahotsav (Job Fairs) that are set to be held across different regions of India.
This collaboration between Flipkart and NSDC aims to facilitate the connection between job seekers and employers, providing new opportunities for aspiring individuals.
