Flipkart, one of the leading e-commerce giants has launched a new fulfilment centre (FC) at Sangareddy in Telangana.
Spread over a four lakh sq. ft. area, the FC will further Flipkart’s commitment to India’s digital commerce evolution by empowering local sellers, employable youth, and customers while making e-commerce more inclusive and accessible.
The new fulfilment centre was inaugurated virtually by KT Rama Rao, Minister for IT and Industries. Jayesh Ranjan, Principal Secretary (IT), Government of Telangana and Kalyan Krishnamurthy, CEO, Flipkart Group were also present on this occasion.
Krishnamurthy said this fulfilment centre is the largest one in Telangana and it would help small businesses, and create employment for many people.
Minister Rama Rao said as we go along the journey of e-commerce business, we must take care of the gig workers. We should ensure that they feel secure, and their livelihoods, and families are protected. It’s our duty to see to it that they are not affected by factors extraneous and beyond their control. We should build credibility, and aspiration among youngsters to work in the e-commerce sector.
