Flipkart opens experience centre in Kolkata

Walmart-owned e-commerce major Flipkart has set up a ‘Furniture Experience Center’ here. This will be the e-tailer’s first offline presence in eastern India.

Spread across nearly 2,200 sq ft, the experience centre has been opened in collaboration with Emami Realty at its township project here.

As customers look for ‘touch and feel’ before buying furniture online, the experience centre aims to bridge this gap by showcasing Flipkart’s certified products at strategic locations across cities, the company said in a release.

The experience centre showcases home furniture from 11 brands including @home by Nilkamal, Royal Oak, House of Pataudi and Perfect Homes.
