AMAZON IS THE MOST VISITED WEBSITE IN INDIA , SAYS CEO BEZOS
Amazon India is the fastest growing marketplace in India and the most visited site on both desktop and mobile in the country, according to Amazon founder and chief executive officer Jeff Bezos. In a letter to shareholders early on Thursday, Bezos cited data from market analytics firms comScore and SimilarWeb to highlight Amazon’s dominance in India. He also highlighted data from analytics firm App Annie to point out that the firm’s mobile shopping app was the most downloaded shopping app in India last year.
Amazon’s Prime subscription service, which globally now commands over 100 million members, has also grown rapidly in India, with Bezos adding that Prime grew faster in India in its first year than in any other country in its history. Bezos also said Prime Video is investing heavily in original Indian content. “Prime selection in India now includes more than 40 million local products from third-party sellers, and Prime Video is investing in India original video content in a big way, including two recent premiers and over a dozen new shows in production,” said Bezos.
