Amazon India’s Seller Base Exceeds 20 Lakh with Growth Driven by AI and Fee Changes
Amazon India’s seller base has surpassed 20 lakh, adding over 3 lakh new sellers in the past year, marking its highest growth in three years. This expansion is attributed to zero referral fees on products below Rs 1,000 and increased use of AI tools by sellers. Ahead of the festive season, Amazon has created more than 1.6 lakh seasonal jobs across 400 cities, including metros and Tier 2 and 3 locations, while enhancing tools and infrastructure to support sellers and meet rising demand.
