Amazon has committed more than $35 billion through 2030 across AI, exports, logistics, and job creation. This comes on top of the $12.7 billion it pledged earlier this month for new data centers in Telangana and Maharashtra.
What’s brewing: the company wants to strengthen its three strategic pillars including AI-driven digitisation, export growth, and job creation. The investment will expand AI capabilities, deepen its presence across India, and support small businesses looking to scale globally.
Through its new ‘Accelerate Exports’ program, Amazon will help Indian manufacturers run on-ground onboarding drives across Tirupur, Kanpur, Surat, and more.
In simple terms, Amazon will physically go to these cities and help manufacturers sign up, learn the process, and start selling globally.
Why it matters: Amazon will train 20 million people and enable 14 million MSMEs with AI.
The company is helping bridge the country’s digital skills gap. And with exports targeted to hit $80 billion by 2030, this move positions India as a major player in global e-commerce supply chains.
Zoom out: India currently has massive scale, a huge pool of affordable tech talent, and rapidly growing demand for digital services.
India is already one of the world’s fastest-growing cloud and AI markets, with every major sector, from banking and healthcare to logistics and governance digitising at the same time.
Currently, the country is the most attractive place for companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Google to build and deploy AI at population scale.
