India’s growth fueled by Amazon’s investment of over three lakh crore rupees

Amazon has announced plans to invest over $35 billion (around Rs. 3.16 lakh crore) in India by 2030, focusing on AI, export growth, logistics, digitisation, and job creation. This builds on nearly $40 billion already invested in India since 2010 and includes physical infrastructure like fulfilment and data centres, as well as AI programs for small businesses and students.

The investment aims to boost AI-driven digitisation for sellers and manufacturers, expand India’s e-commerce exports to $80 billion by 2030, and create 3.8 million jobs through fulfilment centres, logistics networks, and technology roles. AI-powered tools for small businesses will help with inventory management, product recommendations, and pricing optimisation.

Amazon will also provide AI literacy and career experiences to four million students, supporting India’s National Education Policy 2020. This announcement comes shortly after similar AI-focused investment commitments from Microsoft and Google in India.
