Flipkart expands pick-up capabilities, reach
Flipkart said on Thursday it has 'massively' expanded the reach of its pick-up operations in 800 additional cities and towns across the country in the last six months.
Bengaluru: Flipkart said on Thursday it has 'massively' expanded the reach of its pick-up operations in 800 additional cities and towns across the country in the last six months.
The initiative will help bring thousands of new sellers, MSMEs, domestic manufacturers and artisans into the e-commerce fold, it said.
The Reach Project by Flipkart was initiated in February to rapidly scale up pick-up capabilities and to cater to seller requests in hitherto unserviceable parts of the country, the company said in a statement.
More than 60,000 sellers from these cities and towns were set to benefit from this expansion, especially as it came ahead of the crucial festive season, Flipkart said.
Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Jammu and Kashmir, Assam and Tripura were among the states that will see the biggest impact from this initiative, it said.
"In total, the new PIN code additions represent an almost 40 per cent increase in serviceable cities pan-India.
Particularly in Tier 3 and beyond cities and towns, the Reach Project has increased operations in serviceable PIN codes by almost 50 per cent", the statement said.
