Amazon gears up for festive season; expands fulfillment center for faster deliveries, more variety

Ahead of upcoming festive season sales, Amazon India has ramped up its operations in the country and has launched a fulfillment center in Ahmedabad, taking the total tally of its fulfillment centers to three in the Gujarat city. With the latest launch, Amazon looks to enable sellers to offer a wider selection within the region and neighbouring states. “With this infrastructure expansion, Amazon.in will now offer storage capacity of more than 1.5 Million cubic feet across 3 fulfilment centres to its more than 80,000 sellers in Gujarat,” the e-commerce platform said in a statement on Wednesday. The company has almost tripled its storage capacity to further support more than 80,000 sellers and also hopes to create thousands of job opportunities in Gujarat.
