Online marketplace Paytm Mall plans to hire about 2,000 people this year as it looks to scale-up operations to tap into the rapidly expanding market for e-commerce in the country.
Paytm Mall, which was recently formed “to address the potential in online commerce,” has already absorbed about 800 employees from the digital payments platform Paytm that has about 5,000 employees.
“These employees were already involved in the growth of its e-commerce,” the company said, adding that 2,000 new people will be hired across various business and technology roles to effectively scale-up operations. This would take the number of employees working for Paytm Mall to 2,800 by the end of this year.
