The e-commerce giant’s heavy investment in infrastructure and technology, launch of several India-specific innovations, partnership with numerous government bodies has empowered hundreds of thousands of small businesses, artisans, weavers, women sellers and tribal entrepreneurs in India to leverage the growth of digital economy and expand their business.

We are extremely excited, proud and humbled by the progress we have made over the years, particularly so because we have been instrumental in transforming the lives of thousands of SMEs who sell on Amazon.in. Our single-minded focus continues to be on working backwards from seller needs and innovating on their behalf enabling them to successfully run their online business. This is in our DNA and it has worked very well for us in the past. We are the most preferred marketplace amongst sellers in India and looking at the past five years of our growth in India, we have every reason to believe that we will be able to take this to the next level," said Gopal Pillai, director and general manager, seller services, Amazon India, said.
