Captain Gopinath-promoted air cargo venture, which launched its services today under brand name Deccan 360, said it would hire about 5,000 persons in next 3-4 years.

"Our company will hire around 5,000 people in the next 3-4 years, directly or indirectly. We have started the hiring process," Deccan Cargo and Express Logistics CMD G R Gopinath told PTI.

Deccan 360 started cargo services to Hong Kong from Delhi.

In the first phase, the company plans to appoint 100 franchisees in next three months and each franchisee will hire 10 people, Gopinath, the pioneer of low-cost air carrier format in the country, said.

Gopinath had founded budget carrier Air Deccan but later sold it to Vijay Mallya-led Kingfisher Airlines.
