NEW DELHI: Global e-commerce and technology giant Amazon has announced a significant commitment to strengthening its presence in the Indian economy and digital sector, pledging over $35 billion in new investment by 2030. The company estimates that this substantial capital injection will likely lead to the creation of one million (1 million) new job opportunities across the nation.
According to Amazon, this new financial commitment is separate from the nearly $40 billion the company has already invested in the Indian market over the past 15 years, underscoring its profound confidence in the country’s economic future.
The investment is strategically focused on expanding both physical logistics and digital infrastructure across India. This includes the establishment of new fulfillment centers, the expansion of transport networks, the strengthening of data centers, the promotion of digital payment systems, and the extension of advanced technology platforms.
Current economic assessments indicate that Amazon has already facilitated the transition of over 12 million small and medium-sized businesses onto its online marketplace. Furthermore, the company is credited with having generated approximately 2.8 million jobs across various sectors within India.
