(MENAFN- KNN India) New Delhi, Sep 25 (KNN) A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been signed between the Ministry of Labour & Employment and Zepto to enhance employment opportunities and improve youth employability through the National Career Service (NCS) portal.

Addressing the ceremony, Minister for Labour & Employment and Youth Affairs & Sports, Dr. Mansukh 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 mobilised since its inception, NCS has positioned itself as a one-stop solution for all employment-related services.”

The Minister added that upcoming enhancements using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and advanced digital tools are expected to further help job-seekers identify opportunities suited to their locations and qualifications.

The partnership with Zepto is expected to create a structured pipeline of urban employment opportunities, particularly for youth, women, and first-time job-seekers.

Zepto will contribute 10,000 job postings during the tenure of the MoU, integrating gig and full-time roles with the government's employment and skilling ecosystem.

Vandana Gurnani, Secretary, Ministry of Labour & Employment, emphasised that the collaboration would support formalisation and social security coverage, while generating secure, long-term, and quality employment.

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.”

Over the past year, the Ministry has signed similar agreements with several major organisations, including Amazon, Swiggy, Rapido, and Quikr Jobs.
