Amazon has announced a major new plan that will mark a turning point in India’s digital and economic transformation. The company revealed that it will invest more than $35 billion in the country by 2030.
The announcement was made during the sixth edition of the Amazon Smbhav Summit, reaffirming the company’s long-term commitment to strengthening infrastructure, advancing artificial intelligence innovation, and empowering small businesses in India.
Amazon Is India’s Largest Foreign Investor
This new investment builds on the nearly $40 billion Amazon has already deployed in India. According to the Economic Impact Report by Keystone Strategy, Amazon is the largest foreign investor, the largest enabler of e-commerce exports, and one of the top job creators in the country.
To date, Amazon’s investments have helped:
- Digitize more than 12 million small businesses,
- Enable $20 billion in e-commerce exports,
- Support 2.8 million jobs across India in 2024.
For the next five years, Amazon has identified three strategic priorities: AI-driven digitization, export expansion, and job creation.
“We Will Increase E-Commerce Exports to $80 Billion by 2030”
By 2030, the company aims to support 3.8 million direct, indirect, and seasonal jobs in India. This growth will be powered by Amazon’s expanding logistics network, strengthened technology infrastructure, and increasing operational capacity.
Amit Agarwal, Amazon Senior Vice President for Emerging Markets, said: “We are proud to have been part of India’s digital transformation journey over the last 15 years. In the coming years, we will continue enabling growth by bringing AI to millions and increasing e-commerce exports to $80 billion by 2030.”
Major Expansion of Digital and Physical Infrastructure
So far, Amazon has built one of India’s most comprehensive logistics and technology ecosystems, including:
- Fulfillment and distribution centers
- Transportation and delivery networks
- Data centers
- Digital payments infrastructure
- Advanced technology and AI solutions
Under its new plan, the company aims to further expand this infrastructure, help small businesses scale faster, and integrate India more deeply into global supply chains.
Making Artificial Intelligence Accessible to Everyone
At the core of Amazon’s strategy is the goal of bringing AI technologies to all segments of society.
By 2030, Amazon plans to:
- Provide AI tools to 15 million small businesses,
- Transform the shopping experience for hundreds of millions of consumers through technologies like Lens AI, Rufus, and multilingual interfaces,
- Deliver AI education to 4 million government school students through curriculum programs, career tours, hands-on AI labs, and teacher training initiatives.
These efforts support India’s national vision of “AI for All.”
A Transformational Decade Ahead for India
The Keystone report highlights that Amazon’s impact extends well beyond its marketplace creating significant employment across packaging, logistics, manufacturing, transportation, and technology sectors. Analysts view Amazon’s 2030 roadmap as a strong vote of confidence in India’s long-term economic outlook.
One expert commented: “Amazon is positioned as a catalyst for India’s digital future. This investment marks the beginning of a transformative decade for the country.”
As India continues to emerge as one of the fastest-growing digital economies in the world, Amazon’s $35 billion investment is expected to accelerate progress in AI capability, exports, entrepreneurship, and digital inclusion.
