Amazon to Make Mega-Investment of USD 35 Billion in India by 2030

“Amazon plans to increase investment by more than $35 billion across all its businesses in India through 2030, focusing on business expansion as well as three strategic pillars: AI-driven digitization, export growth and job creation,” the company said.

Amazon's comprehensive AI commitment will transform India's digital landscape to support the government's vision of "AI for All." By 2030, Amazon plans to make AI benefit 15 million small businesses, with sellers on Amazon.in already using AI-powered tools like Seller Assistant, Next Gen Selling, and others.

This will enhance shopping experiences for hundreds of millions of shoppers through innovations like Lens AI for visual discovery, conversational shopping with Rufus, and multilingual experiences that overcome literacy barriers.

It will also empower 4 million government school students with AI education and career exploration opportunities through AI curriculum, technology career tours, hands-on AI sandbox experiences, and teacher training programs. This initiative supports India's National Education Policy 2020 by democratizing AI education through Amazon's technology expertise and nonprofit partnerships.

Amazon's cumulative investments of $40 billion in India since 2010, includes compensation to employees and the development of infrastructure.

The company has invested in building physical and digital infrastructure, including fulfilment centres, transportation networks, data centres, digital payments infrastructure and technology development. Amazon has digitized over 12 million small businesses.

Further, by 2030, the company plans to generate an additional one million direct, indirect, induced and seasonal jobs. These will stem from Amazon's business expansion as well as its growing fulfillment and delivery network, which simultaneously supports parallel industries including packaging, manufacturing, and transportation services. It supported approximately 2.8 million direct, indirect, induced and seasonal jobs across industries in 2024.

Amazon has enabled $20 billion in cumulative ecommerce exports and wants to quadruple this to $80 billion by 2030.

“We're excited to continue being a catalyst for India’s growth, as we democratize access to AI for millions of Indians, create one million job opportunities, and quadruple cumulative ecommerce exports to $80 billion by 2030.” Amit Agarwal, Senior VP Emerging Markets, Amazon said.
