This research focuses on integrating Internet of Things (IoT) and AI-driven machine learning algorithms to optimize operations within micro-fulfillment centers for quick commerce in India. The study addresses the growing demand for faster delivery times, driven by the rise of e-commerce, and the challenges associated with managing inventory, logistics, and last-mile delivery. By implementing IoT-enabled devices to monitor real-time data and deploying machine learning algorithms for demand forecasting and route optimization, the study aimed to enhance operational efficiency and reduce delivery times. The research utilized a dataset comprising various operational metrics from micro-fulfillment centers across major Indian cities. A comparative analysis revealed that the AI and IoT integration led to a 22% reduction in delivery time and a 15% improvement in order accuracy. Additionally, the predictive maintenance system, powered by IoT sensors, resulted in a 30% decrease in equipment downtime. The results demonstrate that combining IoT with machine learning optimizes supply chain operation and significantly contributes to meeting consumer expectations in the quick commerce sector. This research provides a comprehensive framework for leveraging technology to address the unique challenges of the Indian market, offering valuable insights for industry stakeholders. 2026 Elsevier Inc.
