Amazon India director Abhinav Agarwal said that the Prime membership plan now offers customers same-day deliveries on 1 million products, including toys, electronics, and home entertainment categories. Saying that same-day delivery for Prime members has doubled because of the company’s investment in strengthening its delivery network, Agarwal added that the company is looking to double down on same-day delivery going forward.
“Delivery speed remains a focal point of our ongoing efforts. Fast, reliable deliveries are a key benefit of Prime subscriptions and are a cornerstone of our customer proposition. Our goal is to combine speed with reliability, ensuring that customers receive their orders swiftly,” he said.
While Amazon competes with the likes of Flipkart and Meesho in the e-commerce segment, the entry of quick commerce players like Zepto, Zomato-owned Blinkit, and Swiggy Instamart in new categories has increased the competition for the e-commerce giant. This competition is expected to increase further as JioMart and Flipkart are also all set to enter the quick commerce space.
However, Amazon India seems to be unperturbed by this. Agarwal declined to comment on the intensifying competition in the quick commerce space and said that Amazon India will continue to focus on same-day deliveries for now.
