20 June 2022, Mumbai:

Amazon India has reiterated its commitment to ensure continued growth in the country and remain fully compliant with its rules and regulations.

The business has reaffirmed its commitments to job creation and getting micro, small, and medium enterprises online. The business has even doubled its targets and now aims to create 20 lakh direct and indirect jobs in India and enable $20 billion in cumulative exports by 2025, says Manish Tiwary, Country Manager-Consumer Business, Amazon India

Amazon India has faced strong and sustained criticism from traders’ bodies, most vocally the Confederation of All India Traders, for its alleged monopolization of the Indian e-commerce market. CAIT has held nationwide strikes, boycotts, and campaigns against Amazon India and accused it of violating foreign direct investment regulations, which Amazon has vehemently denied.
