Part of this investment includes an additional $13 billion earmarked for enhancing AI and cloud infrastructure in the country by 2030.
This significant investment will boost Amazon’s AI and cloud infrastructure in India, with a focus on expanding AWS data center capacity in Mumbai and Hyderabad. By providing access to custom AI chips, managed AI services, secure cloud technologies, and developer tools, Amazon aims to accelerate innovation, facilitate rapid scaling, and cater to global customers.
Amazon’s cumulative investments in India from 2010 to 2030 are expected to exceed $88 billion. Jassy emphasized Amazon’s commitment to India, highlighting the company’s decade-long presence in the country. He expressed admiration for Prime Minister Modi’s vision of a self-reliant India and affirmed Amazon’s dedication to being a long-term partner in the nation’s growth journey.
Acknowledging Prime Minister Modi’s leadership, Jassy underscored India’s increasing significance for Amazon, where the company operates various businesses such as e-commerce, AI, cloud services, and entertainment. He noted the robust growth trajectory of Amazon’s India operations, driven by strong customer demand, particularly in e-commerce and AWS services.
Amazon’s initiatives in India have had a substantial impact, including the digitization of 12 million small businesses, facilitating over $20 billion in cumulative e-commerce exports, and supporting 2.8 million jobs. Additionally, the company has trained more than 10 million individuals in cloud skills. Aligning with the government’s priorities, Amazon will continue to focus on AI-driven digitization, export expansion, and job creation.
