Bharti Walmart to open training centre in Maharashtra

MUMBAI: Bharti Walmart, a joint venture between Bharti Enterprises and Wal-Mart Stores, will open a training centre at Jalna in Maharashtra on a public private partnership basis, according to a press note released here.

Bharti Walmart currently runs three such training centres under the PPP model in Amritsar, Delhi and Bangalore, and three training centres at its modern wholesale stores in Zirakpur, Jalandhar and Ludhiana.

"The domestic retail sector is growing fast providing growth opportunities. The past few years have seen several companies starting their operations here. However, the industry lacks the talent pool with required skill sets to leverage this huge potential.

Bharti Walmart training centres aim to bridge this gap by imparting training in various aspects of retailing to under-privileged youth making them employable in the retail sector," Bharti Walmart senior vice president for operations Murali Lanka said.
