Three years back, Amazon had no infrastructure in India, and now it dominates the Indian markets.

After its bad run in China, Bezos is going all in for India. Fact behind formation of Amazon in India was its huge number of headcounts i.e. 1.25 billion four times as big as the U.S.’s and more than doubles Europe's. Of these, 500 million, around 35 percent, are internet users. As per researches the yearly growth rate of internet users is highest in India around six million users join every month. Researchers expect the online shopping market in India to reach $15 billion by 2016 up from only $35 million in 2014.
