E-commerce major Amazon to invest over $35 billion in India through 2030 / Amazon/X
U.S. e-commerce major Amazon on Dec. 10 announced plans to invest more than $35 billion across all its businesses in India through 2030.
The company said the investment will be spread across what it calls its three strategic pillars — AI-driven digitization, export growth and job creation — alongside broader business expansion.
“These investments are strategically aligned with India’s national priorities and will focus on expanding AI capabilities, enhancing logistics infrastructure, supporting small business growth and creating jobs,” Amazon said at Smbhav, its annual MSME summit.
“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,” said Amit Agarwal, senior vice president for emerging markets.
Amazon said it has invested at scale in boosting physical and digital infrastructure for small businesses in India, creating millions of jobs and taking Made-in-India products global.
“Looking ahead, we’re excited to continue being a catalyst for India’s growth, as we democratize access to AI for millions of Indians, create 1 million job opportunities and quadruple cumulative e-commerce exports enabled to $80 billion by 2030,” Agarwal said.
The company said it aims to deliver AI benefits to 14 million small businesses and hundreds of millions of shoppers, and provide AI education and career exploration opportunities to 4 million government school students.
With its latest commitment, Amazon said it intends to accelerate digital transformation, strengthen infrastructure and support innovation across the country.
By 2030, the company plans to create 1 million additional job opportunities, boost cumulative exports to $80 billion, deliver AI support to 15 million small businesses and reach hundreds of millions of shoppers, while expanding AI education access for 4 million students.
Amazon also launched “Accelerate Exports,” a manufacturing-focused initiative designed to connect digital entrepreneurs with manufacturers.
At last year’s Smbhav, Amazon outlined its goal of reaching $80 billion in cumulative exports by 2030.
