Blue and grey collar job platform Apna.co alone facilitated more than 20 million candidate-recruiter interactions since the pandemic started in March 2020, of which more than 5 million dialogues took place in the last 30 days. OLX People, QuikrJobs and other social media-based blue and grey collar job recruitment channels are also seeing a surge in demand for such jobs. The country currently has more than 250 million blue and grey collar workers and logistics alone is expected to create about three million jobs by 2022.
