Commenting on the launch, Ajay Rao, Founder of Emiza, expressed his enthusiasm and said, “We're incredibly proud of our team's hard work. This new warehouse in Mumbai is a big step for us.

Jitendra Kumar, Co-founder, Emiza also commented and said, "Celebrating the launch of our new warehouse, I'm thrilled about the tangible impact it brings. This facility isn't just about square footage; it's about efficiency. With meticulously planned layouts and cutting-edge technology, it's set to revolutionise our operations.

The multifaceted facility boasts a dedicated return processing center and is equipped with an array of features designed to optimise operational efficiency and ensure security. With long-span shelving racks, over 10,000 pallet positions, FM2 flooring, and advanced safety measures including hydrant and sprinkler systems, as well as electrical dock doors, it offers a comprehensive solution for warehousing needs. Complete with heat insulation and 24/7 CCTV surveillance, the facility adheres to essential certifications like the Shops & Establishment Act, Fire Safety, and Labour Law. Leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as conveyor belts and other material handling equipment, operational processes are seamlessly streamlined to achieve maximum efficiency.
3PL providers have become indispensable for online and omnichannel brands seeking comprehensive solutions spanning warehouse and inventory management, customer engagement, packaging, dispatch, tracking, and returns. Emiza recognises the vast potential in this dynamic market, where tailored solutions are essential not only for retailers and wholesalers but also for emerging models like dark stores, marketplaces, vendors, and modern trade units. The addition of this latest warehouse will further augment Emiza's capabilities, enabling it to expand its services across a broader spectrum of sectors beyond its existing expertise in fashion and lifestyle, beauty and personal care, food and nutrition, baby care and kids, home and kitchen appliances, and electronics.
This latest warehouse addition follows the recent inauguration of Emiza's 26th facility in Bengaluru. Additionally, Emiza has forged a strategic partnership with the renowned clothing and new-age brand, Souled Store, resulting in the closure of their warehouse and the consolidation of their inventory storage with Emiza. This decision by Souled Store to transfer its main warehouse operations to Emiza is a direct result of Emiza's proven track record of outstanding service and exceptionally low defect rate in order processing.
The company has successfully secured funding across various rounds, including Seed, Series A, and Series B, totalling an impressive sum of 70 crore rupees to date. Notable investors contributing to Emiza's growth include JM Financial and Mayfield, highlighting the confidence and support from key players in the financial and venture capital sectors.
