Flipkart plans expansion, bolsters logistics before festive sales

In the run-up to the festive season, e-commerce major Flipkart is planning to expand its reach to tier-III cities across the country. The Walmart-owned online marketplace has massively expanded its reach of its pick-up operations in more than 800 additional cities and towns over the past six months. 

The company has taken massive logistic operations to bring in thousands of new sellers, MSMEs, domestic manufacturers, and artisans into the e-commerce fold. According to the company, the expanded base is going to help more than 60,000 sellers from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Jammu and Kashmir, Assam, and Tripura.
