Amazon announces over $35 billion Investment in India

Amazon has reaffirmed its long-term commitment to India by announcing plans to invest more than $35 billion across all its businesses in the country through 2030. The announcement came during the sixth edition of the Amazon Smbhav Summit, where an Economic Impact Report by Keystone Strategy highlighted the scale of Amazon’s contribution to India’s economy and digital transformation efforts.
According to the Keystone report, Amazon has already invested $40 billion in India since 2010, covering employee compensation, fulfillment and delivery infrastructure, transportation networks, data centers, digital payments architecture and technology development. These sustained investments have positioned Amazon as India’s largest foreign investor, the biggest enabler of ecommerce exports, and one of the country’s top job creators. The report further states that Amazon has digitized over 12 million small businesses, enabled $20 billion in cumulative ecommerce exports, and supported 2.8 million direct, indirect, induced and seasonal jobs across diverse sectors in 2024.
At the summit, Amit Agarwal, Senior Vice President, Emerging Markets, Amazon, reiterated the company’s commitment to supporting India’s development. He said Amazon’s growth has aligned with the vision of an Atmanirbhar and Viksit Bharat, adding that the company aims to democratize access to AI, drive export expansion, and facilitate large-scale job creation. He also projected that Amazon’s businesses will support 3.8 million jobs by 2030 and will help increase cumulative ecommerce exports to $80 billion.
To accelerate export growth, Amazon also launched “Accelerate Exports”, a manufacturing-focused initiative designed to connect digital entrepreneurs with verified manufacturers and help Indian manufacturers become global sellers. As part of this initiative, Amazon will conduct onboarding drives across major manufacturing clusters, including Tirupur, Kanpur, and Surat. At the Smbhav Summit, Amazon also announced a partnership with the Apparel Export Promotion Council of India to expand the program nationwide.
Amazon stated that its planned investments will prioritize AI capabilities, technology infrastructure, logistics expansion, small business growth and innovation—key areas aligned with India’s national priorities.
