Daraz holds rider graduation programme in Dhaka

Daraz Bangladesh, one of the country’s leading online marketplaces, recently held a career counselling session as part of its Rider Graduation Programme, in association with Hashimukh Shomaj Kallayan Shongstha in Tejgaon area of Dhaka on Monday.

The graduation programme promises hard skills and soft skills for its deliveryman, so they can explore new opportunities in the competitive market, said a press release.

The session was facilitated by Nusrat Akter, co-founder and president of Hashimukh Somaj Kallayan Songstha and Md Abdul Quayyum, head of communications of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Bangladesh.

On this occasion, Daraz Bangladesh Chief Corporate Affairs Officer AHM Hasinul Quddus (Rusho) said, “E-commerce is the future-friendly business model in the world and delivery is an integral part of that. We regularly organise different training and skill development programmes for our riders.”

“Just as on-time product delivery is our primary objective, we are also working to train these riders in the necessary subjects to enhance their skills. The rider graduation programme is another attempt to improve our deliverymen’s hard and soft skills. In addition to the different computer skills, we are trying to train the riders on how much distance they should maintain while delivering a product, how to address any unpleasant issues, etc”, he stated.

Along with training the riders, it is also our responsibility to be aware of any misconduct and in this digital literacy era, maintaining information security is a very complex and imperative issue, he said, adding, “The most important thing for this is awareness. We must remember that we do not share personal information with strangers.”
