Amazon, the world's largest online retailer, announced the unveiling of its globally popular Amazon Prime membership program in India.

Amazon said with Prime, Indian customers in over 100 cities can enjoy unlimited free one-day and two-day delivery on lakhs of eligible products from India’s largest online shopping selection. Amazon.in is offering a free trial period of 60 days to allow Indian shoppers to experience the benefits of Prime.

Guaranteed delivery

“With Prime, guaranteed one-day delivery becomes an everyday experience instead of an occasional indulgence, and with no minimum purchases, it provides unlimited convenience all year long,” said Amit Agarwal, vice-president and country head at Amazon India. He said for sellers, fulfilment by Amazon is now an even more powerful opportunity to rapidly grow their business and at the same time, provide customers across India with a vast selection and unlimited fast free Prime delivery.

‘Higher demand’

“With Prime being launched in India, I can only expect the demand for my products to increase more and thus catalyse my business growth in the coming months,” said Pradeep Kumar of Cambium, a seller on Amazon.in.
