Amazon has unveiled a major plan to invest more than $35 billion in India by 2030, significantly expanding its presence across e-commerce, logistics, cloud services and AI infrastructure. The announcement marks one of the company’s largest long-term commitments to the country. Senior Vice President Amit Agarwal emphasized that Amazon’s journey in India reflects a “long-term alignment with India’s development goals,” adding that the company has already deployed nearly $40 billion in investments over the past 15 years.
Speaking at the sixth Amazon Smbhav Summit in New Delhi, Agarwal underscored Amazon’s growing role in shaping India’s digital and economic landscape. He noted that the company has helped digitise 1.2 crore small businesses, facilitated $20 billion in ecommerce exports, and contributed to 2.8 crore jobs across the broader ecosystem. Highlighting Amazon’s involvement in the country’s transformation, he said the company is “humbled to have been a part of India’s digital transformation journey,” crediting investments in fulfilment centres, transportation networks, data centres and skill-building programs for enabling this scale of impact.
The company’s next phase of growth in India is set to focus heavily on job creation, digital empowerment and AI adoption. Amazon plans to create an additional 10 lakh jobs and expand access to AI-powered tools for 1.5 crore small businesses, helping them improve productivity, competitiveness and digital readiness. A major education initiative will also be rolled out, bringing AI-focused learning programs to 40 lakh government school students across the country.
Agarwal noted that Amazon expects its renewed investment strategy to further accelerate exports, strengthen infrastructure and foster innovation across sectors. Reaffirming the company’s commitment to India’s long-term economic progress, he said, “We’re excited to continue being a catalyst for India’s growth.”
The announcement reinforces Amazon’s ambitions to deepen its integration into India’s digital economy while serving as a major driver of entrepreneurship, employment and technological innovation.
