Indian grocery startup Grofers is breaking the gender silos and the ‘traditional’ job roles defined by gender.
It is bringing in women to work at its warehouse and also for delivery. Currently, 40% of its employees are women.
“Warehousing was traditionally considered a male dominated industry. However, in modern times and with better support, women employees are gaining strength in warehouses as well. We employed around 500 women employees in employees in Bengaluru, Gurgaon and Kolkata,” said Ankush Arora, Head, HR, Grofers.
The company plans to follow the same trend in Faridabad, Hyderabad, and Noida.
