Alexa, tell me an interesting fact about Amazon

The very first product ever sold on Amazon was a book called From XL to XS: A Fitness Guru's Guide To Changing Your Body by Payal Gidwani Tiwari. The Power of Your Subconscious Mind and Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life are some of the best-selling books on Amazon.

People love their gadgets and their kitchen tools! Wireless headphones and Samsung and OnePlus phones are some of the most in demand gadgets. Vegetable choppers, and grocery products like Amul butter, Tata salt, and onions, are high on shopping lists.

You absolutely love products that have been lovingly made by India's artisans and craftspeople, don't you? Customers can buy 2 lakh+ handmade and handloom products from 470+ artisanal sellers across India. Rajasthani kathputli dolls, wooden craft, and block prints are some of the most-loved art forms.

Amazon.in has built a robust delivery network with direct reach in many unique and remote locations across India, including Agatti Island in Lakshadweep, Majuli in Assam, Havelock Island, and Leh, among many others. Read more about them here.

In 2017, Amazon set up its own delivery service in Leh by contracting with a local adventure guide company to make deliveries throughout the rugged mountain town — making it the company’s highest delivery route. For townspeople, basic things which once seemed extremely difficult to get are now easily available and this faraway place feels a lot more connected.

People love listening to music on Alexa-enabled devices. Customers in India stream over 3 lakh hours of music per day on their Echo smart speakers, Fire TV, and other Alexa-supported devices.

One in every two Echo customers in India uses Alexa to control their smart home appliances, including the air conditioner, TV, lights, air purifier, and more.

Parents clearly love shopping for their kids on Amazon.in!

Three out of 5 subscribers of Prime Video stream content in four or more languages. Regional languages are all the rage!

Customers have traveled 20 billion kilometres by booking flights, buses, and trains using Amazon Pay—enough to circumnavigate the earth 500,000 times!
