Amazon opened its largest fulfilment centre in India on the outskirts of Hyderabad, near the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Shamshabad.
The 400,000 sq feet centre with close of 2.1 million cubic feet of storage space is the 5th such centre in Telangana. With this, the US major has ramped up its storage capacity to 3.2 million cubic feet in the State alone.
Akhil Saxena, Vice-President, Customer Fulfilment, Amazon India, said: “With this facility it will be possible to serve customers with a one-day, two-day delivery. The centre will enable sellers to use local infrastructure, save capital and help them grow their businesses. The centre will work closely with local communities, create numerous skilling and employment opportunities for thousands of youth. With more than 10,000 sellers in Telangana, the selection offered by sellers in the State for immediate delivery has grown more than 120 per cent this year as compared to last year.” Speaking on the occasion SGK Kishore, CEO of GMR Hyderabad Airport Limited, said it was a privilege to have the fulfilment centre in the Airport City. Amazon adds to the growing list of the marquee clients.
