By GlobalDataFlipkart Group chief corporate affairs officer Rajneesh Kumar said: “As a customer-first organisation, Flipkart leverages its homegrown technology to keenly identify high-demand hotspots and address consumer needs for quality grocery products.
“The launch of our first grocery fulfilment centre in Jaipur marks a significant advancement in our efforts to enhance delivery services and meet the growing consumer demand for online groceries in Rajasthan.
“As we continue to expand our footprint, the new FC aligns with our commitment to strengthening partnerships with local farmers, MSMEs and other local businesses. We remain committed to furthering our vision of empowering these communities economically and fostering sustainable growth while creating new livelihood opportunities.”
Consumers in the Indian state of Rajasthan previously relied on the Dharuhera FC in Haryana for their grocery needs, and can now expect quicker deliveries and better value.
The retailer also offers customer services including cash on delivery, pay later options, no-cost equated monthly instalments, easy cancellation and unified payments interface for digital payments.
Flipkart also provides voice-enabled shopping, regional language support, credit offerings and open-box delivery to improve the shopping experience.
The opening comes shortly after Flipkart, which is owned by Walmart, secured an investment from multinational technology company Google.
