Amazon announced plans to invest more than $35 billion in India by 2030, reinforcing its nearly $40 billion contributions to the country to date. This news emerged shortly after Microsoft declared a $17.5 billion investment to nurture India's fast-growing AI ecosystem.
The investment strategy centers on bolstering Amazon's business growth through AI-driven digitization, export growth, and job creation. The announcement took place at the Amazon Smbhav Summit in New Delhi, highlighting Amazon as India's largest foreign investor, significant e-commerce export enabler, and top job creator.
A Keystone Strategy report showed Amazon's influence in digitizing over 12 million SMEs and supporting $20 billion in cumulative e-commerce exports. By 2030, Amazon aims to create 3.8 million jobs, contribute to AI education under India's National Education Policy, and augment digital infrastructure—efforts that align with national priorities.
