Meesho has created 12 lakh seasonal job opportunities ahead of the festive rush. More than 70% of these roles come from tier 3 and tier 4 regions. This marks a 40% jump in seasonal hiring compared to last year.
Sellers on the platform hired 5.5 lakh workers to manage festive demand. They are offering short but focused training in sorting, manufacturing, and packaging. In addition, sellers have rolled out new products, entered fresh categories, curated festive collections, and checked inventory to meet rising customer needs.
Meesho also strengthened logistics to handle the festive surge. The company worked with leading third-party logistics (3PL) providers and Valmo to generate 6.7 lakh seasonal jobs. This reflects a 90% rise in festive season hiring compared to last year. The roles cover first-mile, middle-mile, and last-mile operations such as picking, sorting, loading, unloading, and processing returns.
Sourabh Pandey, CXO, Fulfilment and Experience, Meesho, said, “The festive season is when many Indian households place their trust in e-commerce. With that trust comes the responsibility to ensure seller readiness and seamless logistics at scale. In anticipation of this peak period, we have created over ~12 lakh seasonal opportunities, with a significant share emerging from India’s tier-3 cities. By empowering Indian businesses, manufacturers, and logistics partners, our focus remains clear, to make e-commerce inclusive and accessible for every stakeholder.”
As India prepares for its biggest shopping season, not just Meesho but also Flipkart, Myntra, and Amazon are supporting businesses to scale operations and fulfil growing customer demand.
