New Delhi. The confidence of foreign companies in India’s digital economy is continuously strengthening. Microsoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella had announced an investment of $ 17.5 billion in India after meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi on Tuesday. Today, Amazon has announced to invest about $ 35 billion, i.e. approximately Rs 31.5 lakh crore by 2030 to expand its business in India more rapidly. The company has already invested about $ 40 billion (about Rs 36 lakh crore) in India in the last 15 years. Amazon says that India is one of the biggest and long-term opportunities for it and the company is going to strengthen its foothold here.
In the Amazon Sambhav 2025 (Amazon Smbhav 2025) program organized in New Delhi, Amazon’s Senior Vice President (Emerging Markets) Amit Aggarwal also mentioned the company’s achievements in India. He told that till now Amazon has connected about 1 crore small businessmen with the digital platform and has exported about 20 billion dollars (about Rs 18 lakh crore) through Indian sellers. In the year 2024 alone, the company supported 28 lakh direct and indirect seasonal jobs. This figure is going to increase rapidly in the coming years.
38 lakh new jobs will be created
Amazon estimates that by 2030 it will create about 38 lakh new jobs (direct and indirect) in India. For this, the company will expand its fulfillment centre, warehousing and delivery network. Special focus will be on bringing small and medium traders online, increasing the reach of e-commerce to every village and strengthening the logistics system so that delivery can be fast and reliable.
Big preparation on AI and cloud
A large part of the investment made by Amazon will be spent on Artificial Intelligence (AI), cloud computing and digital tools. Amazon is preparing to connect AI-based tools in India with e-commerce, supply chain and operational systems, so that both businesses and customers can get better and faster services. The company believes that the coming decade will be one of “AI based digital public infrastructure”, in which India can play an important role.
