Walmart-owned Flipkart announced four new facilities in Haryana ahead of the upcoming festive season, a move expected to help create 12,000 job opportunities. The new warehouses will help develop deeper capabilities to support thousands of sellers, MSMEs, and small farmers to cater to the growing customer demand and create more employment opportunities while enabling faster deliveries. Warehouses are specialized facilities where products are received from sellers across the region, processed and packed, and then sent to sortation centers and delivery hubs for delivery to customers.
The new facilities will serve sellers of large appliances, furniture, mobiles, apparel, and electronics located in Sankpa, Yakubpur, Kulana, and Rewari with a total area of more than 12 lakh sq ft and a storage capacity of over 30 lakh cubic feet.
Digital commerce is providing new avenues and opportunities for lakhs of MSMEs, which forms a base of India's economic growth in a big way.
With this expansion in the state, Flipkart now has 17 warehouses in regions such as Binola, Bilaspur, Luhari, Ballabgarh, and Farrukhnagar, spread across 44 lakh sq ft, creating around 22,000 thousand direct and indirect job opportunities.
As a homegrown e-commerce marketplace platform, the company is proud to be at the forefront of creating value for all its stakeholders, including sellers, Kiranas, customers, partners, and communities.
Haryana has one of Flipkart's most profound investments with specialized facilities for large appliances, non-large (including mobiles and apparel), grocery, and furniture and has played a pivotal role in connecting thousands of sellers from the state to a national market.
In a separate statement, Flipkart said it had expanded its hyperlocal service - Flipkart Quick - to three new metro cities of Kolkata, Chennai, and Mumbai. This would provide consumers safe and seamless access to order daily essentials through quick doorstep delivery.
Flipkart Quick - launched in Bengaluru last year - will now be available across ten cities, including Bengaluru, Delhi, Gurgaon, Ghaziabad, Hyderabad, Noida, and Pune. Flipkart Quick will also service consumers in Ahmedabad, Chandigarh, Mohali, and Panchkula by the end of the month, taking the total city count to 14 cities. Flipkart plans to introduce this hyperlocal service to other cities in a phased manner this year and aims to be present in over 200 cities by the end of 2022. Flipkart Quick also leverages the company's investment in Ninjacart and strategic partnerships with other local vendors to build an end-to-end ecosystem.
