Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) plans to invest about $233M in its India business to support network expansion and upgrades for faster and more reliable deliveries.
“This investment will enhance processing capacity, improve fulfilment speed, and increase efficiency across the company’s operations network that will help Amazon serve customers across India faster and more reliably,” the company said in a release.
As part of the investment, the company will continue work on some initiatives to support its contractors and employees, including rest spots for delivery personnel; financial education and support; scholarships for associates’ children; and healthcare support for truck drivers.
The e-commerce giant also said it is developing new software and tools to help delivery personnel with navigation, safety, and the overall delivery process.
