Amazon India opened its largest fulfilment centre (similar to a warehouse) at Ranihati in West Bengal last week to meet the growing demands of the region, according to Akhil Saxena, vice president, customer fulfilment, who said the fulfilment centre will double the storage capacity in the state and expand the transportation network there.

This is the fifth fulfilment centre (FC) in the state. FCs maintain inventory of the sellers and use technology and automation to process orders.

Amazon India has 50 such units across the country with an inventory of 20 crore products involving five lakh sellers, he told a news agency. (DS)
