E-commerce bellwether Flipkart has partnered with the Army Welfare Placement Organisation (AWPO) to launch a new initiative 'FlipMarch' to explore and onboard the Indian Army veterans across its value chain including corporate and supply chain verticals.

As part of the initiative, Flipkart will offer customized induction, sensitization programs, and curated learning programs to selected candidates to enable a seamless transition and help them learn the nuances of the various corporate job roles.

Chief People's Officer at Flipkart, Krishna Raghavan expressed his statement - "Flipkart is a socially responsible organization that works towards the development of society and its stakeholders. At Flilpkart, we have several ex-members of the Armed forces leading important charters, and we are delighted to announce FlipMarch to take this initiative ahead. The loyalty, discipline and risk-taking ability of the members of the Armed forces are of great value to Flipkart and will play a significant role in building a robust organization,"

Every year, over 50,000 personnel retire in the age bracket of 30-40 years and they are well trained in multiple aspects of logistics, workforce management, crisis handling, making them an ideal choice for large organizations. Flipkart's new initiative will provide opportunities for new career paths and offer more options post serving in the Armed forces.
