Amazon Global Selling programme has been witnessing remarkable adoption amongst businesses of all sizes across the country and has grown to more than 1 lakh (100K) exporters since its launch in 2015.
These exporters are showcasing millions of ‘Made in India’ products to customers worldwide through Amazon’s 18 international websites in countries such as USA, UK, UAE, Canada, Mexico, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Netherlands, Turkey, Brazil, Japan, Australia, and Singapore.
Encouraged by the rapid growth that the programme has been witnessing, Amazon has doubled its exports pledge, to now enable $20 billion in cumulative exports from India by 2025.
Union Minister of Micro Small and Medium Enterprises Narayan Rane said MSMEs are the backbone of India’s economy, contributing to around a third of India’s GDP and driving nearly half of the country’s exports.
“Enhancing the export potential of Indian MSMEs is a key government priority and efforts are being made to support Indian MSMEs for their success in international markets. Amazon’s continued efforts towards enhancing the share of MSME exports is commendable, and their commitment to enable $20 billion of exports by 2025 is very timely,” said Union Minister of Micro Small and Medium Enterprises Narayan Rane.
The Minister also said he would like to congratulate Amazon and all the MSMEs for playing an important role in driving export-led growth to help realize the vision of an Aatmanirbhar Bharat.
Amazon Senior Vice President India and Emerging Markets Amit Agarwal said Amazon is excited by the remarkable growth that over 1 lakh exporters are witnessing through our Global Selling programme.
“In 2020, Amazon had pledged to enable $10 billion in cumulative exports from India by 2025 using this program. But as Indian MSMEs discover how ecommerce makes it easy for them to reach customers globally, we are seeing a rapid increase in the number of exporters joining Amazon Global Selling to cater to the growing demand for Made in India products across the world,” said Amazon Senior Vice President India and Emerging Markets Amit Agarwal.
He also pointed out that Amazon is scaling up its pledge to boost exports from India using ecommerce to $20 billion by 2025. “We will continue to work with all key stakeholders to make exports easier for Indian MSMEs to help them create robust businesses and build global brands from India,” said Amazon Senior Vice President India and Emerging Markets Amit Agarwal.
