The Government has partnered with quick commerce platform Zepto to enhance employment opportunities as well as youth employability on the National Career Service (NCS) Portal. The Ministry of Labour and Employment today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in the presence of Union Minister Dr Mansukh Mandaviya. Addressing the event, Dr Mandaviya said that the NCS platform has emerged as a unique bridge between employers and job-seekers.

He said that with over 52 lakh registered employers and nearly 7.5 crore vacancies mobilised since inception, NCS has positioned itself as a one-stop solution for all employment-related services. Welcoming the collaboration between the Ministry and Zepto, Dr Mandaviya emphasised that this partnership would open a new window of opportunity for young people, while allowing Zepto to connect with a suitable talent pool of human resources.

Under this collaboration, Zepto will provide 10,000 job postings during the MoU duration, creating a predictable and structured pipeline of urban employment opportunities for youth, women, and first-time job seekers. The partnership also creates a bridge to formalisation and upskilling, linking gig workers with e-Shram registration, social security schemes, and opportunities for future employability and protection.
