The Bengaluru-based firm Flipkart on Wednesday said it will generate over 20 lakh jobs through its marketplace and ancillary services in 2015.
 
The rapid development of the e-commerce ecosystem in India will contribute towards the generation of employment across sectors.
 
Last year, over half a million jobs are estimated to have been created in the e-commerce space. Flipkart said the marketplace model has opened up opportunities in metros and non-metro cities.
 
As sellers have played and are expected to play an important role in creation of jobs across India -- sellers of home products, apparels, mobile accessories and small appliances are expected to generate the maximum employment. The growth and expansion of their businesses will generate a minimum of 20-25 jobs per seller this year.
 
30,000 sellers and over three crore customers are already registered with Flipkart. Further, in order to open up the e-commerce marketplace model to the Indian micro industries,it has tied up with various government bodies like FISME, DGET, NIFT, Ministry of Labour, and DC Handlooms.
