Amazon has announced plans to invest more than $35 billion in its Indian operations by 2030. The announcement came last week, as the company emphasised its long-term commitment to the fast-growing market. In the same week, Microsoft pledged $17.5 billion, marking its biggest investment in Asia to date. This capital will be channelled into building cloud infrastructure and training India's burgeoning workforce.
Together, these two US technology giants are injecting over $52 billion into India, aiming to shape how the country's 1.4 billion people will use artificial intelligence in the coming decades. Amazon's focus is on empowering 15 million small businesses with AI-driven tools, while Microsoft's strategy targets reaching 310 million informal workers through government employment platforms.
