Ecom Express Limited: Ecom Express launches one of the largest outsourced grocery fulfilment centers in Karnataka

Ecom Express Limited, technology-driven end-to-end logistics solutions provider to the e-commerce industry has setup its largest fulfilment center in Karnataka, which is also one of the largest outsourced single-brand e-grocery fulfilment centers in India.

Situated in Hoskote, Bengaluru on an area of 2 lac square feet, the new fulfilment center is the second grocery facility set up by the Company in Karnataka. The new center will aid and support one of the leading e-grocery brands to deliver a wide selection of grocery products to consumers in and around Bengaluru city through its 100 hyper-local stores.

‘’Today’s consumers are served with varied options thus placing heavy demand on e-grocery players to provide speedy fulfilment of their orders at value. This is a challenging proposition as it requires ability to manage complexities to match the demand at scale and size,” said K. Satyanarayana, Co-founder & Director, Ecom Express.

With over 8 lac processing throughput per day, the newly built facility has the capacity of over 6 lac cubic feet. It can store up to 10 million product units across categories, including daily household supplies, staples, tea, snacks and beverages, confectionery, personal care and more.

The Indian online grocery market is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 33.00% to reach$26.63 billion by FY2027. The fast changing consumer preferences, rising disposable income, new market entrants, and increased focus on expanding e-grocery business operations and adoption of attractive marketing strategies are the primary driving factors influencing the growth of the Indian online grocery market.1 Relatedly, the market expansion is fueling demand for new fulfilment/warehousing space.

“We will continue to invest and expand our fulfilment centers in response to customer needs and are in the process of launching five more centers by the end of September 2022 to enable online grocery players to tap into this fast-growing market and benefit from the e-grocery boom,” said Satyanarayana.

Ecom Express is India’s third-largest logistics startup, only next to Delhivery and XpressBees. The company offers logistics solutions to Indian ecommerce companies and operates across 27000 locations in India.

The company plans on board over 50,000 delivery partners by September-end ‘especially to meet the anticipated surge in customer demand during the festive season’. It currently employs nearly 30,000 delivery partners and full-time employees.
