Submission declined on 26 May 2025 by DoubleGrazing (talk).

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Flipkart Supply Chain Operations Academy (SCOA) is a skill development initiative launched by Flipkart in 2021. The academy aims to provide free, industry-relevant training in supply chain operations to youth from underserved communities across India. The program combines digital learning with hands-on experience to enhance employability in the e-commerce logistics sector.

Overview

SCOA offers a structured training program that includes 15 days of online classroom sessions followed by 45 days of on-the-job training (OJT) at Flipkart's supply chain facilities. The curriculum covers various roles such as picker, packer, sorter, quality check executive, data entry operator, and issue resolution executive. The program is designed to equip participants with practical skills required in e-commerce supply chain operations.

Objectives

The primary objectives of SCOA are:

To bridge the skill gap in the e-commerce logistics sector.
To enhance employability among youth, especially from underserved communities.
To promote diversity and inclusion by targeting women, persons with disabilities, and members of the transgender community.

Partnerships

In 2023, Flipkart signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) to expand the reach of SCOA. The collaboration aims to align the academy's curriculum with national skill development standards.

Additionally, Flipkart partnered with the Government Industrial Training Institute (ITI) Kalyani in West Bengal to establish a Center of Excellence (CoE). This center provides specialized training and industry exposure to local youth, aligning with regional employment needs.

Impact

As of 2024, SCOA has trained over 4,200 candidates, including 826 women. The program has been instrumental in providing skill development opportunities to individuals from various states, including Bihar, Delhi, Haryana, Jharkhand, Punjab, Rajasthan, and West Bengal. Flipkart aims to upskill 16,000 candidates through SCOA by 2025.
