Swiggy Instamart has joined forces with Young India Skills University (YISU) to launch a skill-based programme aimed at equipping 5,000 youths in Telangana for careers in the quick commerce sector.  

This initiative is set to enhance the operational and managerial capabilities of participants, preparing them for roles in this rapidly growing industry. 

Skill Development for Quick Commerce 

Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), Swiggy Instamart and YISU have committed to a multi-year partnership to train over 5,000 youths.  

The programme will focus on building job-relevant skills, particularly in dark store operations, which are crucial for the quick commerce sector. This collaboration was formalised in the presence of YISU Vice-Chancellor V.L.V.S.S. Subba Rao and Swiggy Ltd Chief Human Resources Officer Girish Menon. 

The curriculum is designed to balance classroom instruction with practical field exposure, ensuring that students gain both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience. Those who complete the course and internship will be fast-tracked into operational roles such as Store Manager Trainees. 

Industry-Aligned Learning Pathways 

Swiggy Instamart and its logistics arm, Scootsy, will contribute industry expertise, sector insights, and instructional support. YISU will provide academic oversight and curriculum approval through its Academic Council.  

A Training Lab and Centre of Excellence will be established at YISU’s permanent campus in Future City, Hyderabad, to support this initiative.  

The programme aims to create practical, industry-aligned learning pathways that prepare graduates for real-world roles in supply chain and quick commerce operations. This initiative is not just a short-term hiring strategy but a long-term investment in India’s skilling ecosystem.
