"At the same time, fulfilment centres fulfil important needs of small and medium enterprises seeking markets and customers located all over India and lacking resources to create their captive distribution networks; local entrepreneurs seeking opportunities to provide goods and services; qualified and educated young workforce in remote and rural areas seeking employment and skill development."

Sellers across the country send their products to Amazon’s FCs when using Fulfilment by Amazon (FBA) and once an order is placed, the company will pick, pack and ship the order to the customer.

They can always select the number of products they want to have fulfilled by Amazon and accordingly scale their business requirements.
