Amazon India recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Karnataka department of industries and commerce to help drive e-commerce exports from the state. As part of the MoU, the US e-commerce giant will train and onboard micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) from the state on Amazon Global Selling, its exports programme.

This will enable them to sell their unique products globally to millions of Amazon customers in more than 200 countries and territories.

Amazon Global Selling lowers the entry barrier for motivated Indian MSMEs to expand their business and launch their brands globally from anywhere in India, said a company statement.

With this programme, Indian businesses get instant access to global markets from the first day, benefiting from Amazon’s distribution capabilities and global footprint to scale rapidly, creating a sustainable exports business.

Amazon will conduct trainings, webinars and on-boarding workshops for exporters from key MSME clusters like Bellary, Mysore, Channapatna and others. The workshops will focus on sharing knowledge and imparting trainings to MSMEs about business-to-consumer e-commerce exports and selling worldwide through Amazon’s 17 international marketplaces to over 300 million customers worldwide.

In January last year, Amazon had pledged to enable $10 billion in cumulative exports by 2025 helping Indian businesses grow by selling online worldwide.
