Amazon to Invest $35 Billion In India by 2030 To Advance AI, Exports and Job Creation

Amazon has outlined a fresh investment plan of over $35 billion across its India operations through 2030.  

The announcement was made at the sixth Amazon Sambhav Summit in New Delhi, where the company highlighted its long-term commitment to India’s digital and economic transformation. The new commitment builds on nearly $40 billion already invested in the country. 

Expanded Investment Roadmap 

Amazon stated that the latest investment will support business growth and will be centred around three strategic themes. These include AI-driven digitisation, expansion of ecommerce exports and job creation across India.  

The company has already invested in fulfilment capacity, transportation networks, data centres, digital payments systems and technology development, which it plans to scale further. 

An economic impact study by Keystone Strategy found that Amazon’s cumulative investments to date have positioned it as one of India’s largest foreign investors, a major driver of ecommerce exports and a significant contributor to job creation across technology, logistics and customer support roles. 

India Impact: Digitisation, Exports and Employment 

The company’s initiatives have digitised more than 12 million small businesses and enabled $20 billion in cumulative ecommerce exports. Amazon supported about 2.8 million direct, indirect, induced and seasonal jobs in 2024 across multiple industries.  

By 2030, it aims to facilitate an additional 1 million jobs as the business expands and as its fulfilment, delivery and allied services grow in scale. 

As per press release, Amit Agarwal, Senior Vice President, Emerging Markets, said: “We are humbled to have been a part of India’s digital transformation journey over the past 15 years, with Amazon’s growth in India perfectly aligned with the vision of an Atmanirbhar and Viksit Bharat.” 

AI And Digital Innovation: Long Term Priorities 

A major focus of the new investment cycle is to ensure broader adoption of artificial intelligence across India.  

Amazon intends to bring AI benefits to 15 million small businesses by deepening tools already integrated on Amazon.in, such as Seller Assistant and Next Gen Selling features. It also plans to strengthen AI-enabled shopping experiences for customers through innovations in visual discovery, conversational search and multilingual interfaces. 

In education, Amazon aims to equip 4 million government school students with AI learning opportunities by 2030. The initiative includes curriculum support, teacher training, technology exploration programmes and hands-on AI experiences, aligned with the National Education Policy 2020.
