ECOMMERCE IN INDIA has achieved an astonishing level of growth, demonstrating
the outstanding leadership and resilience of major players like Amazon India
and Flipkart. The enthusiastic embrace of digital platforms, the diverse array of
products on offer and the evolving preferences of consumers – from small towns
to mega metropolises – have been among the myriad factors that have driven this
persistent expansion. This remarkable digital journey of the Indian marketplace
is truly a cause for celebration.
Our cover story in this issue tells the story of one of the country’s largest tech
and ecommerce players, Amazon India. With over 100,000 employees, Amazon
stands out as a mega employer in the private sector. It is committed to digitising
10 million small businesses, facilitating $20 billion in ecommerce exports, and
generating two million direct and indirect jobs through the country. Manish
Tiwary, Vice President and Country Manager of Amazon India’s consumer
business, tells us that Amazon has already made significant strides towards these
goals, having digitised over 6.2 million small businesses, enabled cumulative
exports worth $8 billion, and created over 1.3 million direct and indirect jobs
in India.
