Grazing Minds partners with Fitmyparcel in offering micro-learning programs in Logistics

Fit My Parcel, a UK based delivery service with network spanning across 22 countries has tied-up with Mumbai based consulting edtech startup Grazing Minds as part of their three year vision to fine tune their existing and new employees in line with the changing dynamics post Covid, a top company official said today.

Through this partnership, both the companies hope that students will have access to working on live cases, which would improve the employment opportunities by making them 'industry-ready'.

Tony Cawston, the Divisional CEO for Europe Division of Fitmyparcel said that, post Corona there will be an urgent need to be more agile, more nimble, yet more digital and cost-effective. Hence, INDIA and S.E. Asia can act to be the provider of “cost-efficient” workforce and technology. He further added that, the challenges faced while recruiting for their own/partner staff agencies has a mismatch between industry and employee expectations. Explaining the same, Meghan Kurtz – President (S.E.Asia) for fitmyparcel says, “We don’t want to focus on academic scores while recruiting, but want talented individuals who understand logistics – so it becomes easier for us to orient them to our needs. Fresh graduates and sometimes MBA’s (unless Logistic specialization) are far from the industry needs. This indirectly forces us to hire experienced people for entry level jobs , which creates an imbalance in the eco-system in terms of their salary expectations or what we offer, despite being one of the best paymaster in the industry with industry’s one of the lowest attrition rate”.

Under this partnership Grazing Minds will train graduates on key areas like managerial, logistics and supply chain management, through micro programs from three months to one year and make them future ready. This, Grazing Minds intends to do by offering courses for as little as INR 3500 for their 2-3 months course and making youth job-ready. FitMyParcel has committed to absorb over 2500 entry level graduates for their “remote back end operations” from INDIA, participating in the #aatmanirbharbharat.

Commenting on the tie-up, Asish Dash, co- founder, Grazing Minds in a statement, said, “In recent years, Logistics has undergone a shift in its role and it’s not sufficient to understand “desi” models or case studies only. Therefore, the supply chain professionals must develop industry-relevant skill sets."

Under the collaboration, Grazing Minds will be an authorized provider of exam and training sessions that prepare participants for the final exam. The duration of training programs are going to be two months (for micro programs) live sessions with certified Supply Chain experts on weekends virtually, mock exams, mock assessments, preparation on sample papers and final examination that will be conducted in collaboration with Fitmyparcel team.

“Digital evolution and the boom in smartphone adoption are redefining the learning patterns of the digital community at large. With these partnerships, we are building an education ecosystem that gives learners the opportunities to thrive in their respective careers and subjects and help solve their challenges with ease. This will also help us attain our target of a billion dollar company by 2023.” said Rohan Varrier, CMO, Fitmyparcel.
