Flipkart, the e-commerce giant, has launched two new fulfillment centers in Uttar Pradesh. The new facilities include a grocery fulfillment centre in Varanasi and a sortation centre in Unnao, both of which were virtually inaugurated by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
Spanning over 5 lakh sq. ft, the centers are set to boost delivery efficiency and cut delivery times, while generating over 3,600 direct and indirect jobs.
