Amazon has inaugurated its second-largest office in Asia, located in North Bengaluru, spanning 1.1 million square feet and serving as the company’s headquarters in the region. This campus will accommodate over 7,000 employees across various domains, including e-commerce, operations, payments, technology, and seller services. The move is part of Amazon’s commitment to long-term growth in India and signifies its strategic focus on expanding its operational capacity in the region.
Dr. M.B. Patil, Minister for Large & Medium Industries and Infrastructure Development, Government of Karnataka, emphasized the significance of such large-scale investments, stating that they contribute to job creation, bolster the local economy, and foster India’s digital ecosystem. Previously housed at the World Trade Center in West Bengaluru, Amazon India’s decision to shift its headquarters to North Bengaluru is aimed at optimizing costs while maintaining operational efficiency.
Amazon’s investment in India has shown positive results, with Amazon Seller Services reporting a 19% year-on-year revenue growth to Rs 30,139 crore in FY25. Despite a moderate revenue increase compared to previous years, the entity managed to significantly reduce losses by 89% to Rs 374 crore, attributed to controlled expenditure.
