According to the company, India is in the midst of a D2C revolution due to the increased adoption of digital channels and technologies, as well as the robust growth of the startup ecosystem.

The company stated that the investment will last 3-4 years and that it plans to increase the total D2C fulfilment space to approximately 7 million sq ft across these cities.
The company also stated that it plans to onboard approximately 20 D2C brands as its initial pool of D2C clients, and that the centres will also provide fast shipping and efficient return management services.

Furthermore, the fulfilment centres will use a green logistics model to ensure environmental sustainability, according to the company, which also plans to increase hiring at both the management and operational levels to ensure the efficient operation of these facilities.
