Amazon opens its second Fulfillment Center in Bangalore

Amazon Seller Services India Pvt Ltd today announced the launch of its second Fulfillment Center in India near here with the facility to be operational by February.
First in South India, the center spread over 150,000 sq.Ft is a multi-level, secure facility which can stock and store millions of products across several categories from sellers using "Fulfillment by Amazon."
This investment is part of Amazon's continued "relentless" focus on enhancing online shopping experience for consumers in India and enabling Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to get a scalable and robust national platform using Fulfillment by Amazon, the company said in a statement.

The facility will provide existing and new retailers from South India closer access to Amazon's world-class fulfillment capabilities, it said.
The launch of the new fulfillment center in Bangalore is part of continued investment in providing fast and reliable delivery across vast selection of products, and enabling sellers of all sizes to achieve nationwide scale, said Amit Agarwal, Vice President and Country Manager, Amazon India.
Amazon Fulfillment Centers are warehouses where online retailers who use Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) services, stock the inventory of their products.
When using FBA, sellers across India send their products to Amazon's fulfillment centers and once an order is placed, Amazon packs and ships the order to the customer without the sellers having to do anything, it said.

Amazon's first Fulfillment Centre is located on the outskirts of Mumbai, in Bhiwandi spread over 150,000 sq.Ft area.
