They are the ‘<keyword id="484405" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Social-entrepreneurs" source="Orion">Social Entrepreneurs</keyword>’, who have not only achieved excellence in their entrepreneurial pursuits but have also dedicated themselves to uplifting and supporting the communities they hail from. Their inspiring journey reflects a deep alignment with the values upheld by <keyword id="6354742" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="flipkart" source="Orion">Flipkart</keyword> – leveraging the power of e-commerce to bring about positive change, skillfully combining financial success with a positive societal influence. As we delve into the motivating journeys of these ‘social entrepreneurs’, we uncover stories of sellers who have excelled in business while leaving a significant mark on their communities. These stories represent not just financial success but a legacy of transformation. Empowering Artisans, Uplifting Communities Name: Nishat Begum NGO: Anuna Location: Madhya Pradesh India has a rich history in traditional handicrafts, handlooms, and handmade products. Over the decades, generations of artisans have passed down and honed their skills in specialized crafts of their choice. There are lakhs of such artisan clusters across India. Many of these artisans are marginalized women and men, and are often the sole bread earners for their families. Due to limited familiarity with modern digital market dynamics, these artisans often find themselves vulnerable to intermediaries, which, in turn, poses challenges to their livelihood. Consequently, this trend contributes to a waning interest in traditional crafts and a significant loss of income for the artisans involved. The problem can be addressed with professional training and handholding in digital entrepreneurship, and the medium of e-commerce, something that the Samarth program by Flipkart and its NGO partners are working towards. Flipkart Samarth is a program dedicated to helping underprivileged sections of society and supporting organizations that are committed to societal good. The program has been creating meaningful opportunities that empower millions of artisans, weavers, and micro-entrepreneurs to help them achieve financial independence. Since its launch in 2019, Flipkart Samarth has enabled pan-India market access for lakhs of ambitious entrepreneurs. Today, the program supports and benefits over 1.5 million livelihoods nationwide. Nishat Begum, who heads an organization of artisans in Bhopal, is among those who has experienced the benefits of going online and knows that it can make a world of difference to the lives of artisans, especially women. Nishat's organization has been working since 1990 to skill and support women in areas affected by the Bhopal gas tragedy of 1984. As the driving force behind Anuna, an NGO associated with Flipkart Samarth, she empowers marginalized women through online entrepreneurship. Anuna is a social impact driven business that is open to all independent sellers with unique handmade or natural products. A part of the proceeds from Anuna's sales supports the training of artisans from economically backward classes. Under the Flipkart Samarth-Anuna partnership, about 120 women in Nishat's organization, skilled in crafts such as zari, zardozi, and macramé, have undergone training in the fundamentals of running an e-commerce business. Nishat appreciates the multifold benefits of the Flipkart e-commerce platform for her community of artisans - most importantly, the continued preservation of their art, and the access to a pan-India market. "It will boost sales and improve the standard of life for women and their families," she says. "With the steady income they can now earn, many women, like me, will become financially independent and fulfill their dreams." Nishat appreciates the multifold benefits of the Flipkart platform for her community of artisans - most importantly, the continued preservation of their art, and the access to a pan-India market. Empowering Women, one flight at a time Name: Capt. Indraani Singh Business: Indha Crafts Location: Haryana A renowned name in aviation, Capt. Indraani Singh is the first woman in Asia to fly the Airbus 320 and the world’s first woman commander on the wide-bodied Airbus 300. When she is not piloting flights, Capt. Indraani Singh is educating and empowering women and children in India’s underserved communities. Capt. Indraani Singh founded Indha Crafts, a social enterprise that imparts vocational training in crafts for underserved women and markets the products they create. She is also the founder of Literacy India, which educates underprivileged children, youth and women, empowering them to become self-reliant. Recently Indha Crafts joined hands with Flipkart Samarth to help women artisans sell their products online and expand their customer base to over 200 million. The partnership has positively impacted lives in these communities, says Capt. Indraani. Her drive has led to men also understanding the economic benefits of women channeling their talents. Capt. Indraani understood the need for a platform to monetize this talent and create sustainable incomes. “With Flipkart, we feel cared for. Other than helping us sell, they help us with promotions. They tell us how to list trending products and introduce variety in our listings. This helps us in marketing and in turn, helps the artisans. Flipkart also has been instrumental in our B2B sales. Many sellers have contacted us to grow their business,” says Capt. Indraani. Ever since Indha Crafts partnered with Flipkart Samarth, the organization has seen tremendous increase in sales. Moreover, the brand has witnessed a positive impact on the lives that they are trying to uplift. Capt. Indraani Singh with Indha Crafts and Literacy India is changing the narrative for the women she’s working with. When she began journey, she faced questions about the efficacy of the initiative: How would artisans earn money with these skills? How would it be beneficial? How is this additional income going to change their lives? Today, these women have written a new chapter in their lives, from contributing to their household income to helping their community’s healthcare, education, and independence. They are flying in more ways than one. Defying odds, embracing entrepreneurship Name: Komal Prasad Paul Business: Ultimate Hygiene Location: West Bengal In December 2017, 33-year-old medical representative Komal Prasad Paul was grievously injured after a collision with a truck in Barasat, a suburb of Kolkata. He was rushed to the ICU only after several hours but by then the damage was done: his right arm had to be amputated. This deep personal tragedy came as a turning point in Komal Prasad’s life: How would he provide for his family given his physical impairment? While painting and sketching uplifted his mind after a phase of depression during his month-long hospitalization, the burden of earning for his family weighed heavily on him. So, undeterred by his handicap, Komal Prasad went back to work upon discharge. But the feisty microbiology graduate who had been great at his job realised he could not keep up with the demands of the job. He thus started exploring ways to earn for his parents and his sister, who were extremely disheartened at the unfortunate turn of events. Komal turned to entrepreneurship. He tapped into his contacts and started selling products for new mothers and babies, such as nebulizers and breast pumps. Business started slow but an undeterred Komal had his mind set on success. After reference and research, Komal registered on the Flipkart Seller Hub in May 2019 and within a few days, a member from Flipkart’s team on-boarded him and took care of all his documentation. Thus began his new life. Komal sells personal care products on Flipkart under the Flipkart Samarth program which offers e-commerce opportunities to underserved entrepreneurs and artisans in India. On his debut as a seller on Flipkart, he made a single sale on his first day. Today, he sells over 50 products a day. His enduring effort and never-give-up attitude have helped Komal register over 100% growth in sales, which has allowed him to hire one employee to help him with packaging. The source of Komal’s motivation lies with his parents and God. And, he is certain that with Flipkart, he is on the right path, one that will lead to success. Weaving stories, creating opportunities Name: Chitrangan Pal Business: Odisha Handloom Location: Odisha There are sarees and there are sarees that tell stories transcending form and fashion. One such saree is Odisha’s Sambalpuri, which bears the imprints of the state’s famous tie-and-dye technique, wherein each saree goes through a journey of threads dyed, fabric woven, and made intricate with traditional motifs. Look closely, and a Sambalpuri saree is a handmade harmony of geometric patterns and landscapes from Odisha’s religious architecture, which could take as many as three months to create. Like a precious heirloom, local weaver families cherish the painstaking technique that goes into making a Sambalpuri saree. “We are the only ones here in India making Ikat (a fabric dyeing technique). This has been our work and tradition for over 100 years,” says Chitrangan Pal. 22-year-old Chitrangan is the founder of Odisha Handloom, a company representing over a thousand families, whose members draw livelihood from the warp and weft. But selling the Sambalpuri sarees, along with dress materials, stoles, dupattas, tables, and kitchen linen, was stuck in the old ways. In 2019, Chitrangan became a Flipkart seller. “Flipkart helped us in listing over 200 of our sarees and helped us with visibility for our products nationwide.” It also opened up his perspective on selling, adding specialties like market trends and location-based selling. Soon, he tapped the strong vein of demand in India’s southern cities. Going online allowed Sambalpuri sarees to grow out of the shadow of heritage and local demand, and into fashion that was more mainstream. “Before joining Flipkart, we were selling our products in our village or state, but now our products are available to customers across the country,” says Chitrangan. Working with Flipkart has also grown the weavers’ creativity. “Before Flipkart, we were traditional saree sellers for about 40 years. We worked with the same designs. Our profit margin was not great, and the designs remained old-fashioned,” he remembers. As Chitrangan says, “Orders are rising, and our community is very happy with their work. Selling on Flipkart means more work and more opportunities for my people to earn their living with dignity.” Disclaimer: This article is generated and published by the Insider Studios team.

Empowering communities: The impact of Flipkart Samarth's social entrepreneurs

<ul><li>Over five lakh temp jobs will be created across <keyword id="1105147" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="E-commerce-companies" source="Orion">e-commerce companies</keyword> in the festive season.</li><li>Highest demand in hiring is seen in quick commerce, retailers and FMCG companies.</li><li>Indian shoppers expected to indulge in ‘revenge shopping’ this festive season.</li></ul>Amidst a rise in post-pandemic purchases and economic activity, e-commerce companies are gearing up for the festive season by expanding their temporary workforce at a rapid clip. This festive season is expected to see a two-fold increase in logistics and delivery alone as shoppers are expected to indulge in ‘revenge shopping’. In the season beginning October and lasting till December, companies will add 20% more to their current workforce base, and the pay scale will be 8%-10% higher than last year, according to human resources analytics firm TeamLease. Also, it expects India to have 372 million online shoppers by the end of 2022. “Overall five lakh additional jobs are expected to be added during India’s festive season. In the FMCG sector, the demand for Feet-on-Street salespeople (FOS) will be the highest. Companies will add 20% more to their current workforce base and even pay about 10% extra than last year,” TeamLease said. <keyword id="6354742" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="flipkart" source="Orion">Flipkart</keyword>’s Big Billion Days sale and <keyword id="18635" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="amazon" source="Orion">Amazon</keyword>’s Great Indian Festival are scheduled for later this year, to cash in on the festive buying spirit. In 2022, Flipkart aims to create 50,000 jobs across its centres, and is hiring at least 400 new employees every day at its Haringhata warehouse for its upcoming flagship sale. <keyword id="319719" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="myntra" source="Orion">Myntra</keyword>, one of India’s largest retailers, too is gearing up for its ‘Big Fashion Festival’. “Myntra has a robust last-mile delivery facility with 80% MENSA (Myntra Extended Network for Service Augmentation) partners. The additional incentivisation of the frontline delivery partners during the peak days will also go into creating a smoother consumer experience, particularly our Big Fashion Festival,” Nupur Nagpal, CHRO of Myntra told Business Insider India. Sales during the festive period generate huge revenue for e-commerce companies. According to wealth management firm Bernstein’s report, GMVs (gross merchandise value) of e-commerce firms during October sales reached $9.3 billion in 2021, a jump of 26% year on year. Flipkart led the festival market share with 62% while Amazon had 27%. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Hiring across big and small companies" comment="subhead" text="Hiring across big and small companies">Hiring across big and small companies</cmsannotation> E-commerce companies, big and small, have plans of increasing hiring and expanding operations. Retail stores are also seeing a pick up in activity and will join the hiring bandwagon. “By mid-quarter, especially across quick commerce, hiring will pick up by 20% during festivities. Retail stores badly affected by the pandemic are now reviving and expected to increase their hiring. This is especially to cater to the weekenders, who walk in swathes during the festive season,” said Ajoy Thomas, vice president and business head at <keyword id="6381892" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="teamlease-services" source="Orion">TeamLease Services</keyword>. The New Shop, an omnichannel e-commerce company largely operating in North and West India, plans to have 1,000 stores in India by 2025 and is on a hiring spree as well. The company is a 24-hour convenience store that sells FMCG products. “The festive season has always been big for the retail industry. On an average, the consumer’s discretionary spending increases during festivals, which leads to more customers and gift giving. Hiring will increase by 10-15% and store operations are expected to rise 70-100%,” Aastha Almast, co-founder of The New Shop, told Business Insider India. The New Shop wants to focus on Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, and is expecting to hire over 200 employees in the cities of UP, Haryana and MP. TeamLease’s Thomas said that although there is an increase in temp hiring during the festive season, it is crucial that the e-commerce companies absorb these workers into the workforce permamently after the festivities are over. India’s unemployment rate had gone upto 23.5% during April 2020 according to <a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/1111487/coronavirus-impact-on-unemployment-rate/">Statista</a> report. As of May 2022, it stands at 7%. The great Indian festivals post-pandemic are expected to lower this statistic further.

Post the completion of the separation, PhonePe is now a fully India-domiciled company. To recall, PhonePe moved its registered office from Singapore to India in October. “Setting up these businesses as separate entities will also provide value and create new opportunities for investors to participate in the Indian tech ecosystem – helping unlock and maximize enterprise value for shareholders of the two companies,” the companies said. The separation comes at a time when PhonePe is in talks to raise funds at a valuation of close to $13 billion, according to a <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-12-08/walmart-s-payments-startup-phonepe-seeks-to-raise-1-billion">Bloomberg report</a>. If it succeeds, it would become the most-valued fintech startup in India. The company had raised $700 million in 2020, led by Walmart and existing investors, including Tiger Global, at a valuation of $5.5 billion. While media reports earlier suggested that PhonePe was planning an IPO, the company’s founder and CEO Sameer Nigam in June 2022 dismissed the reports, saying, “PhonePe is not planning an IPO right now. We are focusing on building our business, and will go public once our core businesses turn profitable and our new initiatives have achieved a good product-market fit and scale,” according to a PTI report. As part of the separation of the two companies, the existing shareholders of Flipkart Singapore and PhonePe Singapore, led by Walmart, have taken up equity directly in PhonePe India. Walmart will continue to be the largest shareholder of PhonePe and Flipkart, according to the statement. “We are looking forward to the next phase of our growth as we invest in new businesses – like insurance, wealth management and lending, while also enabling the next wave of growth for UPI payments in India. This will help propel our vision to provide billions of Indians with financial inclusion,” said Nigam in the statement. The separation of Flipkart and PhonePe could also have an impact on the former’s valuation – while the e-commerce giant is currently valued at $37.6 billion after a fundraise of $3.6 billion in 2021, it was <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/corporates/news/flipkart-ipo-may-happen-in-2023-at-a-valuation-of-70-billion/articleshow/90703817.cms">reportedly</a> seeking a $60-70 billion valuation for its planned IPO in the US in 2023. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="PhonePe is the current market leader in UPI payments in the country" comment="subhead" text="PhonePe is the current market leader in UPI payments in the country">PhonePe is the current market leader in UPI payments in the country</cmsannotation> PhonePe currently has over 400 million UPI users in the country, with a 46% market share in terms of payment volumes and a 49% share in terms of payment values, as of November, according to data from the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI). Apart from this, the company also has 35 million merchants covering 99% of the pincodes in the country. It also has 1.1 million sellers on its platform, including small and medium businesses, artisans and craftsmen.

It will also launch three new big-box facilities in three years to cater to growing demand.</li></ul>Flipkart's new big-box fulfilment centre located 50 kilometres away from Kolkata at Haringhata is seeing furious activity as the e-commerce giant ramps up preparations for its flagship Big Billion Days sale (BBD). Evidence of that is most visible at the Haringhata fulfilment centre, which was officially inaugurated in April this year. It has over 3,000 employees and is hiring at least 400 new employees every day and can house 11,000 employees at once. Called the big-box centre, it’s spread across 110 acres, has 5 million cubic feet of storage. Flipkart claims that it is one of Asia’s largest facilities. With the new centre, Flipkart now has over 210 lakh square feet of warehousing space now, the highest ever, which will enable faster deliveries during the festive rush. During its flagship sale, Flipkart's big box plans to process a million shipments from across the country at Haringhata. <div type="image" title="Aerial view of Flipkart&amp;#39;s largest fulfillment center at Haringhata, West Bengal" msid="93851805" hostid="261" sizebytes="1822613"></div> Consumer sentiment to pick up this festive season Hemant Badri, senior vice president and head of supply chain, Flipkart Group said that they are extremely bullish about the upcoming BBD sales as they expect people to come out in full force and buy after the pandemic. The festive season is also important for e-commerce companies as a lot of new users come onboard for the first time due to discounts or exclusive selections, Badri said. <div type="image" title="A woman employee packaging products to be delivered, once a customer places the order, the system draws the product from the racks and takes it to the packaging area" msid="93851922" hostid="261" sizebytes="357694"></div> This year, on an industry level, 40-50 million new users are expected to come onboard. A majority of them could be from Tier III and IV towns. Badri is optimistic about seeing healthy growth across categories, led by non-metro regions. "The consumer sentiment towards the festive is very positive, and this includes (for) a good mix of all categories including mobiles, large appliances, fashion, furniture, home improvement products and you name it. Our teams are working very closely with sellers and brand partners to bring the selection and offerings as per consumer demand," said Badri. With close to 20,000 sellers, West Bengal is a crucial region for Flipkart. Sellers from West Bengal primarily engage in kid's and men's clothing, mobile and fashion wearables, skincare, etc. Targeting the next 200 million customers "This year, it should be better for us from every aspect. With our storage combined with automation, our productivity has gone up 15-20%. We're far more bullish for the next 200 million customers in India to shop with us. Three out of five orders are from Tier II and III regions," Hemant Badri, senior vice president and head of supply chain, Flipkart Group said. Flipkart hit the first 100 million registered users milestone in 2018, more than a decade after its establishment in 2007. It has more than 400 million registered users today on the platform and now aims to fulfil the demands of its next target 200 million customers. Flipkart has over 80 facility centres in India and to cater to the next 200 million customers, it is planning to add three more big-box facilities, Badri said, in the next three years across North, South and West India. It has already added several large-scale fulfilment and sortation centres over the last three years across Assam, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Haryana, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Odisha, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, and West Bengal. This, along with thousands of delivery hubs added across the country, are helping deliver shipments across 100% serviceable PIN codes.

As more and more companies across the spectrum sack employees amid the global meltdown, at least 853 tech companies worldwide have laid off about 137,492 employees to date, and the tally is only going north amid recession fears. According to data from layoffs.fyi, a crowdsourced database of tech layoffs, 1,388 tech companies have fired a total of 233,483 employees since the onset of Covid-19, but 2022 has been the worst for the tech sector. As of mid-November, more than 73,000 workers in the US tech sector have been laid off in mass-level job cuts led by companies like <keyword id="399907" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="meta" source="Orion">Meta</keyword>, Twitter, Salesforce, Netflix, Cisco, Roku, and others. Robinhood, Glossier, and Better are just a few of the tech companies that have notably trimmed their headcount in 2022, according to Crunchbase. Big Tech companies like Amazon and PC and printer major HP Inc have joined the global layoff season and were set to lay off more than 10,000 and up to 6,000 employees in days to come, respectively. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has warned employees that there will be more layoffs at the company in early 2023 "as leaders continue to make adjustments". The massive job cuts have hit several divisions, especially the Alexa virtual assistant business reportedly set to lose $10 billion this year as the voice assistant never managed to create an ongoing revenue stream. Alphabet, <keyword id="6355629" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="google" source="Orion">Google</keyword>'s parent company, is reportedly gearing up to lay off about 10,000 "poor performing" employees, or 6 per cent of its workforce.
