The Ministry of Labour and Employment signed an MoU with Zepto in September 2025 to enhance job opportunities and youth employability through the National Career Service (NCS) Portal. Under this partnership, Zepto will provide 10,000 urban job opportunities, particularly benefiting youth, women, and first-time job seekers. The initiative also focuses on improving employability by formalising gig workers, integrating them with the e-Shram portal, and linking them to social security benefits. This collaboration bridges the gap between informal and formal employment, creating structured opportunities in the gig economy while strengthening social protection and skill development pathways.
