Retail India News: Amazon India Expands Operations to Strengthen Festive Season Deliveries - Indian Retailer

Amazon is significantly expanding its quick commerce footprint in India with the wider rollout of its 10-minute delivery service, Amazon Now. The service, which was earlier limited to a few major cities, is now being extended to 100 cities across the country as part of the company’s aggressive push into ultra-fast delivery.

Amazon Now operates through a network of micro-fulfilment centres (MFCs) located within local neighbourhoods. These compact warehouses are designed to store high-demand everyday items such as groceries, personal care essentials, fashion accessories, beauty products, and small household appliances, enabling rapid order processing and delivery.

With this expansion, Amazon is increasing its infrastructure by setting up around 1,000 micro-fulfilment centres to support faster logistics and wider coverage. The company also claims that this move will benefit over 16,000 farmers by helping them reach customers directly through sellers on its platform, strengthening its supply chain ecosystem.

The service will now be available in cities such as Kochi, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Jaipur, Lucknow, and Ahmedabad, in addition to existing metro regions like Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, and Bengaluru. Users can access the feature through the Amazon app by looking for the “Now” icon, which indicates availability in their area, positioning Amazon in stronger competition with players like Blinkit, Swiggy Instamart, and Zepto.

Google Cloud leads as AI spending tops $700B

/in /tarafından

Google has emerged as the standout performer in Big Tech’s AI infrastructure race after Google Cloud posted a 63% revenue surge, sharply outpacing rivals and reshaping investor expectations.

The strong growth, driven largely by enterprise AI demand, exceeded both Microsoft Azure and Amazon cloud growth rates, reinforcing Google’s strategy of commercializing its AI stack across chips, cloud and business tools.

Across major U.S. tech giants, projected AI-related capital expenditures now exceed $700 billion this year, rising from prior estimates near $600 billion. Google raised its own spending outlook further as demand continues to outstrip available compute capacity.

The market response highlighted a growing divide: investors are increasingly rewarding companies converting AI spending into visible revenue acceleration, while punishing those where returns remain less clear.
