Flipkart bets on Bengal, deepens investment in logistics, technology and jobs growth

Walmart-owned Flipkart on Monday reaffirmed its long-term commitment to Bengal, saying it will deepen investments in the state’s supply chain, technology and seller ecosystem, buoyed by a 20 per cent year-on-year growth in the market.

The e-commerce major said Bengal is central to its expansion strategy and is home to its largest fulfilment centre in India at Haringhata. Spread across 50 lakh cubic feet, the automated facility serves as a key logistics hub for the e-commerce major.
