The program’s core framework evaluates employees based on performance and potential, enabling the creation of tailored career development plans. It also identifies high-potential external talent for leadership roles and provides upskilling opportunities for existing employees to enhance their capabilities and drive business growth. Additionally, Pragati focuses on local hiring across over 3,500 locations to minimize relocation challenges and ensure seamless integration of talent within local teams. This approach supports Ecom Express’s vision of building a skilled, future-ready workforce capable of delivering operational excellence.
