The FC, which spans 1.23 lakh square feet, is run by over 700 women employees across various roles. This center further strengthens Flipkart’s Grocery supply chain in the neighboring cities and towns including Agartala, Aizawl, Darjeeling, Dibrugarh, Imphal, Kohima, and Shillong thereby offering a vast and high-quality selection of regional products to the local consumers.  Commemorating the contribution of its female workforce, Flipkart shares the growth journey  of women employees at the Guwahati FC. Barnali Devi, a young girl of 23 years, had taken on the responsibility of financially supporting her family of seven and sustaining her siblings’ educational pursuits.

Being the oldest child, and the one in-charge of providing for her family financially, she chose to try her luck at Flipkart’s FC in Guwahati to support their livelihood.
