AMAZON’S MARKET JOURNEY IN INDIA: AN ANALYTICAL PERSPECTIVE ON PERFORMANCE, CHALLENGES, AND OPPORTUNITIES
Abstract
Amazon is an American international e-commerce company. It was founded by Jeffrey P. Bezos in 1994, and it was launched in India in June 2013. Three years back, Amazon had no infrastructure in India, and now it dominates the Indian market. At the very start, investors perceived that in India, it would not go long like China. In 2004, when Amazon entered China, it hadn’t seen much success there, with Alibaba, its Chinese competitor, dominating the e-commerce market. After its bad run in China, Bezos is going all in for India. This research paper delves into a comprehensive analysis of the evolving business landscape in India, exploring diverse sectors such as SMEs, startups, manufacturing, retail, and digital enterprises. The paper critically examines the role of government policies, technological advancements, and global market dynamics in shaping the trajectory of Indian businesses. Using a blend of secondary research, industry data, and analytical insights, the study identifies emerging opportunities and persistent challenges while proposing strategic solutions for sustainable growth.
