New programme delivers internship, hiring and up-skilling routes for semi-skilled workers, easing the frontline talent crunch for freight forwarders.

Mumbai, 27 June 2025 - Softlink Global has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Mumbai Rozgaar to create India’s first end-to-end talent pipeline dedicated to freight forwarding, customs brokerage and allied logistics services. The alliance joins Softlink’s three-decade domain expertise with Mumbai Rozgaar’s recruitment reach to supply job-ready professionals for operations desks across India, the Middle East and Africa.

Logistics is one of the country’s largest employment engines, yet thousands of frontline seats remain vacant while millions of semi-skilled workers struggle for formal jobs. The new partnership turns that mismatch into opportunity through:

1. Certified, 3-month internships on live logistics systems
2. Role-based training tracks - Documentation Executive, Operations Coordinator, Warehouse Assistant and more
3. Guaranteed interviews and placement support across Softlink’s 800+ client locations
4. A target ...
... to place 2,000 candidates within 18 months

“We see freight forwarders losing business because desks are empty,” said Amit Maheshwari, CEO, Softlink Global. “By matching unemployed youth with industry-validated training and real jobs, we’re investing in both social mobility and sector efficiency.”

Alan Castelino, Managing Director & CEO, Mumbai Rozgaar Pvt. Ltd., added:
“Our strength in scalable recruitment, combined with Softlink’s technology footprint, lets us open new career doors for communities that mainstream hiring often overlooks.”

The initiative will operate under Softlink Academy, the company’s skilling arm, extending its reach into vocational colleges, community centres and state employment exchanges. Cohorts begin in August 2025; participating employers can book slots immediately.
