To offer safe access of essential items, Flipkart will strengthen its grocery infrastructure in India
Kolkata/UNI: Flipkart, India’s homegrown e-commerce marketplace, has announced the strengthening of its grocery supply chain infrastructure across the country.
Through this effort, the company will strengthen its capabilities to provide its customers safe access to order daily essentials through quick and contactless doorstep delivery.
Towards this effort, Flipkart plans to step up it’s supply chain infrastructure for its grocery business and add over 8 lakh square feet of space through five new fulfillment centres over the next three months.
With this additional infrastructure, the marketplace will bring the ease of online grocery shopping to more users across the country, a company official here said.
Flipkart’s grocery offering is backed by an intuitive user experience through voice-enabled shopping for groceries, credit offerings and open box deliveries.
Smrithi Ravichandran, Vice President - Grocery, Flipkart, said, "During these challenging times, e-commerce has emerged as a safe means of making purchases. Customer safety is at the centre of the Flipkart group’s efforts and our new grocery supply chain infrastructure will help us serve more customers in the country who can order daily essentials seamlessly and avail contactless delivery.”
“We are also continuously engaging with brand and marketplace partners to ensure stock availability across the country.”
Last month, Flipkart also expanded its hyperlocal service Flipkart Quick to six new cities - Delhi, Gurgaon, Ghaziabad, Noida, Hyderabad and Pune - to provide consumers access to order daily essentials such as fruits and vegetables and get delivery within 90 minutes.
