Quick commerce companies hired over 40,000 employees in the last quarter to handle increased festive shopping and e-commerce demand, Indeed India sales head Sashi Kumar said. "The quick commerce industry in India is on a rapid growth trajectory, and we're seeing a significant shift in how blue-collar hiring is evolving to meet this demand.

"As the industry continues to expand, the need for skilled and semi-skilled workers is growing, making hiring more competitive. Employers are increasingly looking for talent that can adapt to a fast-paced, technology-driven environment," he told PTI.
