            and unprecedented weather in     e-commerce is to get
            Bangalore?                       it at the time we want it.
            As much as we try to plan things,   Or rather, we would just
            the one thing we have learnt is that   go to the store and pick
            we have to be open to changes due   it up. If the warehouse is
            to situations beyond our control like   more in proximity to the

            coming up within the city or in   one needs to go to the outskirts of the
            proximity to the airport in many   city. These days the traffic situation
            Asian and South Asian countries   has led logistics players like us to
            or places like Tokyo and Korea.   think of out-of-the-box solutions to
            Because transportation and delivery   provide spaces and places in close
            time is the most important thing   proximity to city limits and highways
