E-commerce platform Flipkart has announced a strategic and commercial partnership with the Adani Group. Flipkart will work with Adani Logistics Limited to strengthen Flipkart’s supply chain infrastructure and further enhance its ability to serve its rapidly growing base of customers, Adani Group said in a regulatory filing. In addition, Flipkart will set up its third data center at Adaniconnex Private Limited Chennai-based facility.
As part of this partnership, Adani Logistics Limited will construct 534,000 sq. ft. fulfillment center in its upcoming logistics hub in Mumbai that will be leased to Flipkart to address the growing demand for e-commerce in Western India and support market access of several thousands of sellers and MSMEs in the region.
