Amazon announced plans to invest more than $35 billion in India through 2030, reinforcing its long-term commitment to one of its fastest-growing global markets. The investment will be spread across the company’s three key strategic pillars — AI-led digital transformation, export expansion, and large-scale job creation — alongside continued business growth in the country.
The announcement was made at Amazon’s annual “Smbhav” summit, where company leaders highlighted the alignment between Amazon’s India roadmap and the country’s national priorities. According to the company, the new investments will enhance AI capabilities, strengthen logistics and digital infrastructure, support millions of small businesses, and expand India’s role in global exports.
Amit Agarwal, Senior Vice President for Emerging Markets at Amazon, said the company has been deeply integrated into India’s digital growth over the past 15 years. He noted that Amazon’s progress in India mirrors the nation’s aspirations for an Atmanirbhar and Viksit Bharat, with the company playing a central role in enabling entrepreneurship, creating jobs, and digitising small businesses.
Amazon said it has already invested at scale in physical and digital infrastructure, helping small businesses reach national and global markets and contributing to millions of direct and indirect jobs. Looking ahead, the company aims to democratise access to AI, create one million additional job opportunities, and quadruple cumulative e-commerce exports to $20 billion by 2030.
The company also plans to deliver AI benefits to nearly 15 million small businesses and hundreds of millions of shoppers across the country. Another major initiative includes providing AI education and career exploration opportunities to four million students in government schools.
As part of its broader expansion strategy, Amazon announced the launch of “Accelerate Exports,” a programme designed to connect digital-first entrepreneurs with manufacturers and help scale Made-in-India products globally.
The company reiterated its goal of enabling $20 billion in cumulative exports by 2030, a target originally outlined during the previous edition of the Smbhav summit. Amazon said its latest investment commitment will accelerate India’s digital transformation, foster innovation, and strengthen the country’s position in the global digital economy.
