Flipkart strikes deal with Adani; to create 2,500 more jobs

Walmart Inc.'s Flipkart and Adani Group on Monday announced a strategic partnership to strengthen logistics and data center capabilities. Adani Group is headed by India's fastest-rising billionaire Gautam Adani. The pact is aimed at creating 2,500 direct jobs, the companies said in a statement. The move marks Adani's foray into the online shopping space, which is chiefly dominated by Amazon. Here are more details.

Statement
Partnership aimed at strengthening Flipkart's supply chain infrastructure

According to a joint statement, Flipkart will work with Adani Logistics Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd. The two-pronged partnership is aimed at strengthening Flipkart's supply chain infrastructure and further enhance its ability to serve its rapidly growing base of customers. The statement did not mention any financial details of the partnership.

Data center

Flipkart will also establish a third data center at the Chennai-based facility of AdaniConneX—a joint venture between EdgeConneX and Adani Enterprises Ltd. The data center will address Flipkart's growing infrastructure needs and keep its data locally within India. It "has been designed to meet the highest standards in reliability, security, and sustainability," utilizing Adani Group's position as India's largest solar player for green power.

Warehouse

Adani Logistics Ltd. will also construct a 5.34 lakh sq ft warehouse in Mumbai. The warehouse will address the growing demand for e-commerce in western India. It will also support the market access of several thousands of sellers and MSMEs in the region. This center—with a capacity of 10 million units of sellers' inventory—is expected to be operational by the third quarter of 2022.

"In addition to strengthening Flipkart's supply chain infrastructure to support MSMEs and sellers, the facility will enhance local employment and create ~2,500 direct jobs and thousands of indirect jobs," the statement further said.
