The past few years of the pandemic have underscored our increasing dependence on the e-commerce industry. With the significant rise in digital literacy and access to high-speed internet and smartphones, the industry has dynamically changed how we shop.
The warehouse development at Kulana, Haryana, named Vertical Logistic Park, by CEM Engineers, which caters to the storage and distribution needs of the thriving e-commerce industry in NCR, is setting a perfect example of storage warehouses which has evolved in size and technology to accommodate the rapid increase in the shipping of products.
