Andy Jassy reaffirmed Amazon’s long-term commitment to India. He also announced an additional investment of $13 billion in artificial intelligence and cloud infrastructure by 2030. This increases Amazon’s planned investment in AI and cloud technologies to more than $21 billion between 2026 and 2030.
The commitment positions the company among the largest global investors in these sectors within India.
“We came to India over a decade ago and have since been serving customers, sellers, developers, start-ups and enterprises through our different businesses. The response has been tremendous, with strong growth especially across our ecommerce, AI, and cloud businesses,” Jassy said.
“We are investing over $48 billion in the coming five years to meet the strong demand across our business in India and to help the country achieve these priorities. We are inspired by Prime Minister Modi’s vision of a Viksit and Atmanirbhar Bharat, and we are committed to being a long-term partner in India’s growth story,” he added.
Andy Jassy thanked PM Modi for his leadership and highlighted India’s growing importance in Amazon’s global strategy. He noted that Amazon continues to witness strong customer demand, particularly across its e-commerce and AWS businesses.
The company operates several businesses in India, including e-commerce, artificial intelligence, cloud services and entertainment.
