• Amazon Global Selling India expands government partnerships to boost e-commerce exports
• Helping Indian sellers access 18 global marketplaces through tech and training
• Aims for USD 80B in e-commerce exports by 2030 after surpassing USD 20B milestone early

Amazon Global Selling India has solidified further engagement with the Indian administration to enhance e-commerce exports from the country.

Amazon signed new Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with key export promotion councils and MSME bodies, such as the MSME Commissionerate of Gujarat, to offer deeper support for small and medium businesses, Srinidhi Kalvapudi, Head of Amazon Global Selling India said.

Amazon India’s export MoU and partnerships with FIEO and Gujarat MSME reflect its strong government tie-up and exports strategy, aimed at boosting e-commerce exports in India and enhancing Indian MSME export support.

Srinidhi Kalvapudi stated, "This year, we have signed an MoU with the Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO), the apex body of exporters in India. With them, we are planning a lot of activities across different places".

He added, "Exports have always been recognized as a key economic growth engine. The government's recognition of e-commerce exports as a separate category in 2023 reflects its seriousness about this sector. The RBI's simplification of compliance has been an important step".

Kalvapudi further stated that Amazon's role in working with the government is a continuous partnership to make India a global destination for e-commerce exports.

"This journey demonstrates India's growing manufacturing and entrepreneurial strength, and how technology can enable small businesses to succeed globally", he stated.
