The Ministry of Labour & Employment and Zepto have signed an MoU to increase job opportunities and improve youth employability through the National Career Service (NCS) Portal.
The MoU was signed in New Delhi, with Union Minister Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya in attendance.
Dr. Mandaviya said, “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 mobilized since inception, NCS has positioned itself as a one-stop solution for all employment related services.”
“Strengthening of NCS portal through Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other world-class digital tools in the near future will further enable job-seekers to identify opportunities tailored to their location requirements and respective qualifications,” the Union Minister added.
Kaivalya Vohra, Co-founder, Zepto, said, “We are proud to partner with the Ministry of Labour & Employment to integrate with the NCS portal. This collaboration is a significant step towards creating a more inclusive and skilled workforce for the new-age economy. 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.”
The MoU between the Ministry of Labour & Employment and Zepto aims to connect jobs in the platform economy with the government’s employment and skill development programs.
Zepto will offer 10,000 job openings, creating structured opportunities for youth, women, and first-time job seekers. The partnership will also help gig workers register on e-Shram, access social security benefits, and find upskilling opportunities.
This initiative supports the Ministry’s goal to bring gig and quick-commerce jobs into the formal employment system, providing tech-enabled and dignified work. Over the past year, similar agreements with Amazon, Swiggy, Rapido and Quikr Jobs have added nearly 500,000 job openings to the NCS portal.
