Amazon to Invest $35 Billion in India by 2030, Create 1 Million Jobs and Boost AI Push

Amazon has announced a major expansion of its India operations, committing over $35 billion in fresh investments by 2030 across e-commerce, logistics, cloud, and artificial intelligence. The announcement was made at the Amazon Smbhav Summit 2025 in New Delhi, reaffirming India’s role as one of Amazon’s most important global markets.

This investment builds on the nearly $40 billion Amazon has already infused into India over the last 15 years. According to consulting firm Keystone Strategy’s economic impact report, Amazon is now India’s largest foreign investor, the biggest enabler of e-commerce exports, and one of the country’s top job creators.

Amazon’s Strategic Pillars for India: AI, Jobs, Exports

The company said its next phase of growth will focus on three priorities aligned with India’s digital ambitions:

• AI-driven digitisation

• Growing e-commerce exports

• Creating one million additional jobs by 2030

Amazon has already digitised 12 million small businesses, enabled $20 billion in exports, and supported 2.8 million jobs in 2024 across logistics, operations, technology and customer support.

1 Million More Jobs by 2030

Amazon plans to generate 1 million more direct, indirect, induced and seasonal jobs by expanding fulfillment centres, transportation networks, and ecosystem-linked sectors such as packaging and manufacturing.

Amit Agarwal, Amazon’s SVP for Emerging Markets, said the company’s growth mirrors India’s push toward Atmanirbhar and Viksit Bharat, noting Amazon’s role in infrastructure development, MSME expansion and globalisation of Indian sellers.

Massive Push Into AI

Amazon announced plans to democratise access to AI in India by 2030:

• Bringing AI tools to 15 million small businesses

• Enhancing customer experience via AI-led shopping, including Lens AI visual search, Rufus conversational shopping and multilingual systems

• Supporting 4 million government school students with AI education aligned with NEP 2020

Exports Target Raised to $80 Billion

Amazon also aims to quadruple India’s e-commerce exports to $80 billion by 2030, building on the current $20 billion milestone.

With this new $35 billion commitment, Amazon is looking to deepen its technology and logistics infrastructure, strengthen innovation pipelines, and consolidate India as a central hub in its global ecosystem.
