In West Bengal, Flipkart added a new fulfillment center, the second-largest in the state. Spread across an area of over 2.2-lakh square feet and creating nearly 3,500 direct jobs, the new facility in Dankuni will cater to the needs of both Flipkart and Myntra customers in the region. It will also help thousands of sellers offer a wider selection and enable faster deliveries of customer orders within the region and neighbouring states while also helping create national market access.
The new fulfilment centre (FC) will augment Flipkart’s capabilities to cater to more consumers, including millions of first-time e-commerce users in the East. With the addition of this new facility in Dankuni, Flipkart now has more than 10-lakh square feet of warehousing space in the state alone and employs over 50,000 people across all these facilities.
