Jassy shared his views on Amazon's AI strategy, winning in this fast-moving economy, and how India is shaping Amazon’s global thinking. In a country where digital adoption is expanding rapidly, the chat was a reminder that Amazon's India story is as much about scale, investment and technology, as it is about its people.
