Amazon.in is the most-visited e-commerce website in India, Founder and CEO Jeff Bezos said in a letter on the website. To celebrate, he has announced a gift card of Rs 200 for everyone who shops for Rs 500 and above on Amazon.in on Monday.
However, it is important to note that the gift card will only be added to the customers' account after January 2016.
He said that in the two and a half years since Amazon.in has been around, it has already become the most visited e-commerce website in India.
"Just two and a half years from our launch, Amazon.in has become the most visited e-commerce site in India. This customer response continues to amaze and energize us."
He also said that Amazon will consinue to grow its investments in India, and continue to work hard for its Indian sellers and customers.
Amazon recently opened a seventh fulfilment centre (FC) in Maharashtra, agreeing to consider the state as its anchor investment destination for operations in the country, an official said.
"Not only this fulfilment vertical at Bhiwandi near here, but others like data centres, R&D will also be considered, and Amazon will have a much bigger presence in the state.
"The company is keen to make Maharashtra its anchor investment state," Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) Chief Executive Bhushan Gagrani said while inaugurating the centre.
The company has also decided to take lessons learnt from its daily battles with India's choked roads and cramped cities to some of its largest developed markets, exporting a model of cheaper deliveries and reduced warehousing costs.
Online shopping is booming in India, where millions of consumers are able to access the Internet thanks to cheap smartphones. For Amazon, it is already the largest contributor of new customers outside the United States. The company has decided to take lessons learnt from India to US, Mexico and Brazil.
