This is being enabled by increased consumer spending, the E-commerce boom, the Growth of Organized Retail, enabling Government Initiatives like GST and the easing of FDI (Foreign Direct Investment). This is leading to a need for a large pool of trained manpower. Retail contributes 8% of the total jobs in India and currently represents 10% of GDP.
According to a research report by Arthur D Little, the logistics industry represents 14% of India’s GDP. The growth of the logistics industry in India has been driven by various factors, including the country’s robust economic growth, increasing domestic consumption, expansion of e-commerce, government initiatives, and improved infrastructure development. This growth has led to a large number of jobs being created in the sector.
