Mahindra Logistics Ltd (MLL), the logistics division of Mahindra Group, has launched an all-women operated warehouse in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, in partnership with L’Oreal India. The new site marks a significant addition to the companies’ inclusion-led initiatives within supply chain operations.
The Indore facility has been set up to support distribution across central India, with goods routed to major locations such as Jabalpur, Bhopal, Indore, Singrauli, Sagar, Ratlam, Bina, Satna, Rewa, Shahdol and Shivpuri, among others, according to MLL.
MLL said the warehouse, run entirely by women, will strengthen L’Oreal India’s regional distribution abilities through quicker replenishment cycles, shorter transit times and improved operational reliability for the brand’s wide range of products.
“Our warehouse directly supports L’Oreal India’s ambition of inclusion and diversity across its operations and reflects a shared belief that inclusive teams drive stronger performance and innovation,” said Hemant Sikka, Managing Director & CEO, Mahindra Logistics Limited.
The company added that the facility manages an extensive product portfolio through a unified fulfilment system supported by MLL’s proprietary warehouse management platform. This system is designed to align closely with L’Oreal’s distribution framework, improving inventory visibility, streamlining processes and maintaining consistent delivery accuracy.
Arun Saravanakumar, Director, Supply Chain at L’Oreal India, said: “Launching the first-ever 100 per cent women operated warehouse, in partnership with Mahindra Logistics is a reflection of our commitment to gender parity at the workplace, providing women with equal opportunities and creating shared value in our communities.”
Both companies noted that the Indore site represents a strategic step in expanding inclusive employment opportunities while strengthening supply chain effectiveness in one of India’s key regions.
