Government Signs MoU with Swiggy to List Gig Jobs on NCS Portal

The Ministry of Labour & Employment has signed an MoU with Swiggy to list gig and logistics jobs on the National Career Service (NCS) portal. The aim is to create over 12 lakh job opportunities in the next 2-3 years.

As of 9:21 am on April 16, 2025, Swiggy share price was trading at ₹338.70, up 1.41%, with a 2.33% gain over the past 5 days but down 25.72% over the last six months.

What the MoU Covers

Swiggy will upload job openings for delivery, logistics, and support roles on the NCS portal. These listings will be updated through an API-based system, allowing real-time job postings and applications.

Features of the Integration

• Verified job postings by Swiggy
• Real-time updates through API
• Application tracking via the portal
• Focus on flexible roles across urban and semi-urban locations

Focus Areas

The MoU also includes a push for inclusive hiring. There will be a focus on creating access for women, youth, and others looking for non-traditional employment. Job seekers will also be informed about existing government welfare schemes during onboarding.

This is one of several agreements the Ministry is signing with private platforms to make more jobs available through government-run portals. It’s part of a larger plan to connect job seekers with private employers more efficiently.

Who It Reaches

As of January 31, 2025, the NCS platform had more than 1.25 crore active job seekers and around 40 lakh registered employers. This partnership will add gig-based jobs to the mix, targeting people looking for flexible or location-specific work.

Conclusion

The partnership adds gig jobs to the NCS portal, giving job seekers easier access to delivery and logistics roles. The rollout will take place over the next few years, with an estimated 12 lakh opportunities expected.
