The Labor and Employment Ministry signed an initial agreement with the food delivery platform Swiggy to boost gig and logistics employment opportunities on the National Career Services Portal and create over 1.2 million job opportunities in 2-3 years.

The MoU was signed in the presence of Union Labor and Employment Minister Mansukh Mandaviya and Union Minister of State for Labor and Employment Ms. Shobha Karandlaje, the Labor Ministry said in a statement.

In his speech, Mandabia said that the Rashtriya Career Seva Portal is a dynamic platform connecting job seekers and employers across India. With over 12.5 million active job seekers and 4 million registered employers as of January 31, 2025, it is playing a vital role in organizing the workforce.

"This partnership with Swiggy will further extend the portal's reach into the fast-growing gig and platform economy, enabling access to flexible and location-based opportunities for millions of youth..
Under the collaboration, Swiggy will gain access to a diverse, skilled, and job-ready talent pool, while lakhs of job seekers across the country will benefit from enhanced visibility and access to employment opportunities, the Union Minister said.

Swiggy will integrate its gig opportunities – including delivery, logistics and support roles – into the NCS portal. This real-time integration will increase the visibility of gig jobs for NCS users, who will benefit from timely and verified work opportunities in urban and semi-urban areas.

Swiggy will regularly post verified gig and delivery job opportunities on the NCS portal and manage recruitment through it.
