In a move aimed at opening up more job opportunities in India’s gig and logistics economy, the Ministry of Labour & Employment has entered into a formal partnership with Swiggy. The two have signed an MoU that will allow the food delivery platform to post jobs on the National Career Service (NCS) portal, making it easier for job seekers to discover flexible work across the country.
The signing took place in the presence of Labour Minister Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya and Minister of State Shobha Karandlaje.

Speaking at the event, Dr. Mandaviya described the NCS portal as “a living, breathing network that links people to real jobs across India.” He pointed out that as of January 31, 2025, the platform had already brought together over 1.25 crore active job seekers and 40 lakh registered employers.
This new alliance with Swiggy is designed to give the portal deeper reach into the booming gig economy — and the numbers are significant. Swiggy is expected to generate over 12 lakh job opportunities over the next two to three years through this channel.
The Minister was upbeat about the move. “It’s a win on both sides,” he said. “Swiggy gains access to a broad, skilled, and employment-ready talent pool, while young people across India get better visibility into real, location-based job openings that fit their lifestyle.”

He also underlined the broader vision for NCS — not just as a job board, but as an ecosystem for employment, training, and career guidance, including opportunities both within India and overseas.
This collaboration marks a major step in the government’s ongoing push to recognize and support the gig workforce — one of the fastest-growing segments of India’s employment landscape.
