Mumbai : Amazon on Tuesday announced plans to invest more than $35 billion across all its businesses in India by 2030. The fresh investment builds on nearly $40 billion already invested in India over the past 15 years. The announcement was made on December 10 at the sixth edition of the Amazon Smbhav Summit in New Delhi, alongside the release of an economic impact report by consulting firm Keystone Strategy.
The report said Amazon’s cumulative investments, including infrastructure development and employee compensation, have positioned it as the largest foreign investor in India, the largest enabler of e-commerce exports, and among the top job creators in the country. Amazon said it has invested at scale in building both physical and digital infrastructure across India, including fulfilment centres, transportation networks, data centres, digital payments infrastructure, and technology platforms.
Amazon has so far digitised over 12 million small businesses, enabled $20 billion in cumulative e-commerce exports, and supported approximately 2.8 million direct, indirect, induced, and seasonal jobs across industries in 2024. These jobs span technology, operations, logistics, and customer support, with benefits such as competitive pay, healthcare, and formal training. By 2030, Amazon plans to generate an additional 1 million direct, indirect, induced, and seasonal jobs in India.
We are humbled to have been a part of India’s digital transformation journey over the past 15 years, with Amazon’s growth in India perfectly aligned with the vision of an Atmanirbhar and Viksit Bharat,” Agarwal said. “We have invested at scale in growing the physical and digital infrastructure for small businesses in India, creating millions of jobs, and taking Made-in-India global. As part of its long-term commitment, Amazon said it plans to democratise access to artificial intelligence across India, making AI tools available to businesses, consumers, and students.
It also plans to enhance shopping experiences for hundreds of millions of users through AI-led innovations such as visual discovery with Lens AI, conversational shopping via Rufus, and multilingual interfaces to overcome literacy barriers.
