Flipkart has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Logistics Skill Sector Council (LSC) for setting up a Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Karnataka.
LSC has been set up by the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) through the National Skill Development Corporation of India (NSDC) and the Karnataka Skill Development Centre (KSDC).
As part of the MoU, Flipkart has launched an industry-first CoE to build a skilled and trained workforce for the fast-growing e-commerce industry in India.
Spread across an area of 1,500 sq ft, the CoE for e-commerce supply chain in Bengaluru hosts classrooms equipped with computers and projector-based learning for all-round development of candidates.
Being a frontrunner in e-commerce and supply chain, Flipkart has co-developed this extensive training module along with LSC and KSDC to train candidates on various nuances of storage and distribution, customer management and material handling.
Karnataka Kaushalya Mission is part of the Department of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship and Livelihood, Karnataka government, and LSC is helping mobilise aspirants for CoE.
