Abstract: The case briefly touches upon Amazon’s innovations in India. Amazon provided customers with analytics and easy returns and refunds besides offering prompt and trustworthy delivery services. However, despite a $6.5 billion investment and seven-and-a-half years of operations in India, Amazon found itself encountering increasing difficulties. It faced rising competition and also regulatory challenges. The case demonstrates the many service innovation strategies Amazon came up with to maintain its competitive position. The company was competing against Flipkart Internet Pvt., funded by Walmart Inc., as well as Mukesh Ambani's retail websites, including JioMart, all of which were vying for a larger share of a potential market of one billion people. Amazon had vowed to digitize 10 million small businesses in India, a country in which it employed over 100,000 people. |
