Bengaluru: Ahead of the festive season, E-commerce major Amazon India on Monday launched its largest fulfilment centre in the country with a storage capacity of more than 2.4 million cubic feet in Bengaluru.
This expansion is expected to give over 42,000 sellers in the state access to a larger customer base and is also expected to create diverse and meaningful work opportunities, both full time and part-time for individuals from all backgrounds, especially for locals in the nearby regions.
Prakash Dutta, vice president, customer fulfilment operations and supply chain, Amazon India, said, “Karnataka is an important region for us, and we are committed to strengthening the local economy in the State. Our focused investment in infrastructure and technology is a testament to that commitment. With the launch of our largest fulfilment centre in the country, we look forward to creating thousands of more work opportunities with competitive pay. This expansion will provide sellers with closer access to Amazon’s fulfilment offerings, and customers with faster delivery on a wider selection of products”
Basavaraj Bommai, chief minister of Karnataka said, “I congratulate Amazon India on the launch of their new Fulfilment Centre in Bangalore, one of the largest such facilities in India. The fulfilment centre will create more job opportunities for local youth, enable the MSMEs, artisans and startups to sell their “Made in Karnataka” products all over India and the world and further boost ancillary businesses in the state.”
The expansion is part of the company’s plans to expand its pan-India fulfilment network to provide a total storage capacity of 43 million cubic feet to its sellers, across the country in 2021.
