New Delhi: Amazon revealed a far reaching strategy to integrate artificial intelligence across India’s digital ecosystem, announcing plans to equip more than 15 lakh small businesses with advanced AI tools while simultaneously bringing AI literacy to 40 lakh government school students by 2030. The announcement marks one of the company’s most ambitious technology interventions in India to date, reinforcing its long term commitment to the country’s booming digital and e commerce landscape.
Samir Kumar, Country Manager for Amazon India, said the company is building AI infrastructure and tools on a nationwide scale to support entrepreneurs, students, and public sector institutions. Amazon added that it remains on track to complete its 12.7 billion dollar cloud and AI infrastructure investment announced in May 2023 by the end of the decade.
As part of its education initiative, Amazon will introduce a comprehensive AI curriculum in government schools across India. Students will be given access to hands on experiments, interactive projects, virtual career tours, and teacher guided AI modules designed to demystify new technologies.
The company also plans dedicated training sessions for school teachers to ensure they can understand and effectively teach AI concepts in classrooms. The goal is to equip students from diverse backgrounds with technical exposure that prepares them for future careers in a rapidly evolving digital economy.

The latest expansion further broadens the scope of skilling by targeting younger students and small businesses that traditionally have limited access to cutting edge technology.
Amazon is also rolling out a suite of AI powered tools aimed at simplifying online selling and enabling small scale entrepreneurs to operate with enterprise level efficiency. The company said the goal is to remove barriers, automate repetitive work, and allow sellers to focus on business strategy and innovation.
