Zepto Signs Deal For 10,000 Job Postings On Government Portal

Strengthening efforts to formalise India’s platform economy, the Labour & Employment Ministry has partnered with quick-commerce player Zepto. The MoU, signed in the presence of Union Labour Minister Mansukh Mandaviya, will add 10,000 structured job postings to the National Career Service (NCS) platform and provide a stronger employment pipeline in urban areas.

Expanding Employment Avenues

Through this partnership, Zepto will contribute a steady flow of jobs to the NCS portal, aimed at engaging young professionals, women, and individuals new to the workforce. The arrangement also links these roles with formalisation pathways such as e-Shram registration and social security schemes, ensuring workers gain access to protection and future employability options.

This initiative builds on earlier MoUs the ministry has signed with platforms like Amazon, Swiggy, Rapido, and Quikr Jobs. Collectively, such partnerships have already brought nearly five lakh opportunities to the NCS portal.

Official Remarks

As per the news reports, Union Minister Mansukh Mandaviya highlighted the growing impact of NCS: “The National Career Service (NCS) platform has emerged as a unique bridge between employers and job-seekers. With over 52 lakh registered employers and nearly 7.5 crore vacancies mobilised since inception, NCS has positioned itself as a one-stop solution for all employment-related services.”

Speaking on behalf of Zepto, Co-founder Kaivalya Vohra said: “By connecting with NCS, we aim to provide thousands of gig and full-time opportunities, helping to empower India’s youth and contribute to the nation’s economic growth.”
