Amazon will invest more than $35 billion in India through 2030, expanding on the nearly $40 billion deployed so far across its ecommerce, cloud, logistics and digital infrastructure businesses.
The announcement was made at the sixth edition of the Amazon Smbhav Summit in New Delhi on December 10, 2025, supported by an Economic Impact Report from Keystone Strategy. According to the report, Amazon’s cumulative investments have positioned it as one of India’s largest foreign investors, the biggest enabler of ecommerce exports and a major job creator.
Amazon’s investments have helped digitise over 12 million small businesses, enabled $20 billion in cumulative ecommerce exports, and supported around 2.8 million direct, indirect, induced and seasonal jobs in 2024. These roles cover technology, logistics, operations and customer support, backed by competitive compensation, benefits and training. Amazon also creates extensive employment across supporting sectors such as packaging, last-mile delivery, warehousing and manufacturing.
Amit Agarwal, Senior VP, Emerging Markets at Amazon, said the company’s growth aligns with India’s vision of building an Atmanirbhar and Viksit Bharat. He highlighted Amazon’s contributions toward developing digital and physical infrastructure, enabling small business growth and expanding global reach for Made-in-India products. The company expects to support 3.8 million jobs in India by 2030 as it expands its fulfillment and delivery network and drives parallel industries.
Under its strategic investment roadmap through 2030, Amazon will focus on India’s key national priorities: expanding AI capabilities, strengthening logistics infrastructure, accelerating export growth and creating jobs. Amazon aims to democratise access to AI for millions of Indians, boosting productivity and digital inclusion across sectors.
The company plans to bring AI benefits to 15 million small businesses through tools like Seller Assistant and Next Gen Selling. It will also enhance shopping experiences for hundreds of millions of customers using Lens AI for visual discovery, conversational shopping via Rufus and multilingual features that bridge literacy and language barriers.
A major focus will be AI education. Amazon will help introduce AI literacy and career exploration for 4 million government school students by 2030, providing curriculum support, training programs, hands-on AI sandbox environments and technology career tours. This effort aligns with India’s National Education Policy 2020 and aims to create a future-ready workforce.
Amazon will also invest $12.7 billion in cloud and AI infrastructure across Telangana and Maharashtra by 2030. This supports India’s adoption of agentic AI across public and private sectors. AWS is working with organisations such as DigiYatra, Apollo Tyres and Axis Bank, while its skills programmes — including AWS Skill Builder, AWS Educate and AWS re/Start — have trained more than 6.2 million individuals in India since 2017.
Samir Kumar, Country Manager at Amazon India, said AI can become a powerful equaliser by breaking barriers of access, literacy and language. He noted that Amazon’s AI tools help small business owners create product listings in minutes, enable students to develop future-ready skills and allow customers to shop effortlessly in local languages. Amazon’s investments will ensure India continues strengthening its position as a global technology hub while accelerating digital inclusion and economic growth.
