Updated : Dec 22, 2025Amazon has just doubled down on India with a fresh $35 billion investment pledge by 2030. This is on top of the $40 billion already invested. In this Business Today Podcast, Group Editor Siddharth Zarabi speaks to Amit Agarwal, Senior VP – Emerging Markets at Amazon, about why India is at the core of Amazon’s global strategy now. Agarwal recounts his 26-year journey with the American giant and explains how India went from being just a talent hub in 2003 to a full-stack growth engine spanning ecommerce, AWS, Prime Video, MX Player, devices and now ultra-fast 10-minute deliveries. He breaks down Amazon’s new commitments – enabling $80 billion in exports, supporting 3.8 million jobs and using AI to train 4 million government school children. From quick commerce economics and super-demanding Indian consumers to AI disruption, Bezos’ memo-driven management style and what makes India unique as an innovation lab, this conversation decodes why Amazon calls the 21st century India’s century – and why the company is betting big on an Aatmanirbhar, Viksit Bharat. A must-listen for anyone tracking Big Tech, ecommerce, jobs and India’s growth story.
