Amazon’s $35B India Push to Boost Jobs & Exports by 2030
Amazon’s $35B investment will fuel India’s digital growth, create millions of jobs, and empower small businesses with AI-driven transformation by 2030.
Amazon has announced plans to invest more than $35 billion across all its businesses in India by 2030, adding to the nearly $40 billion invested in the country so far. This investment will focus on business growth as well as three strategic pillars: AI-driven digitization, export growth, and job creation.
The announcement came at the sixth edition of the Amazon Smbhav Summit in New Delhi on December 10, 2025, where an Economic Impact Report by Keystone Strategy revealed that Amazon's total investment of nearly $40 billion—including employee compensation and infrastructure development—has made the company the largest foreign investor* in India, the largest enabler of e-commerce exports*, and one of the top job creators in the country.
The company has invested extensively in building physical and digital infrastructure, including fulfillment centers, transportation networks, data centers, digital payment infrastructure, and technology development.
Amazon's Economic Impact in India
- The Keystone Report reveals that Amazon has:
- Digitized over 12 million small businesses
- Facilitated $20 billion in total e-commerce exports
Supported approximately 2.8 million direct, indirect, induced, and seasonal jobs across industries in India by 2024. These roles span technology, operations, logistics, and customer support, along with competitive salaries, health benefits, and training for employees.
Amazon's Senior VP, Emerging Markets, Amit Agarwal, says, "We are delighted to be a part of India's digital transformation journey over the past 15 years. Amazon's growth in India is fully aligned with the vision of a self-reliant and developed India." "We have invested heavily in enhancing the physical and digital infrastructure for small businesses in India, creating millions of jobs, and making Made-in-India global."
Amazon's impact in India extends beyond its direct workforce—supporting jobs in packaging, logistics, and technology, and helping thousands of small businesses and entrepreneurs grow on its marketplace. By 2030, the company will support 3.8 million direct, indirect, induced, and seasonal jobs.
These will be generated by Amazon's business growth as well as its expanding fulfillment and delivery network, which simultaneously supports parallel industries such as packaging, manufacturing, and transportation services.
Strategic Investments by 2030
Reiterating Amazon's investment in India, Amit says, "Looking ahead, we are excited to continue being a catalyst for India's growth as we democratize access to AI for millions of Indians and quadruple total ecommerce exports to $80 billion by 2030. In 2030, Amazon businesses will support 3.8 million direct, indirect, induced, and seasonal jobs."
With an additional $35 billion in investments planned by 2030, Amazon aims to further accelerate digital transformation, strengthen infrastructure, and support innovation across the country.
