Jobs and Skilling

Our bullishness in India comes from significant contributions of our employees who share our mission, the creativity from the entrepreneurs we’ve partnered with, and the enthusiasm from the customers who shop with us. The growth of exports and digital enablement of MSMEs is helping accelerate economic recovery for thousands of businesses to positively impact job creation as well as the overall economy. In a challenging year where saving livelihoods and creating new jobs was a top priority, Amazon helped create direct and indirect jobs across industries including information technology, skill development, content creation, retail, logistics, and manufacturing. This includes job roles in our corporate offices in diverse areas including Machine Learning and Software Development, direct and indirect jobs across our fulfilment centres, logistic centres, sales offices, data centres, and other indirect jobs we create through our ecosystem including sellers’ community.

With a mission to inspire young people to build their best future through access to quality computer science education, we launched the Amazon Future Engineer in India in 2021 with an ambitious goal of reaching 1 lakh students over the next five years. Amazon Future Engineer is focused on underserved and underprivileged children and young people with interventions around teacher development, access to high quality curriculum and scholarships and internships. Over the last few years, Amazon through its community programs has supported multiple STEM programs aimed at improving STEM skills for government school children. In partnership with the Atal Innovation Mission we have supported the infrastructure of multiple Atal Tinkering Labs. As part of community centers we support, we have reached over 120,000 children within and outside school. We have also worked on creating women entrepreneurs through supporting the work of Self-help groups in remote locations.
