New delhi date. January 17, 2020, Friday

Jeff Bezos, the founder of global e-commerce company Amazon, had a three-day visit to India. Jeff Bejos announced the investment of one billion dollars and export of products manufactured under the Modi government's 'Make in India' campaign while on the other side he faced huge protests in many places across the country.

Additional Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal has raised a new controversy by saying that Amazon does no harm to India by investing $ 1 billion. Amidst all these controversies, we were announced that it would create one million new jobs in India in the next five years, by the year 2025.

Global e-commerce company Amazon on Friday said it will generate one million new jobs in India in the next 5 years. The company said the employment would be different from the more than seven million jobs created over its investment in the last six years.

Amazon's plans to create new jobs include direct and indirect employment. These include Information Technology, Skill Development, Content Creation, Retail, Logistics and Product, etc.

Amazon.com President Jeff Bejos announced on Wednesday investing more than $ 1 billion in India. He said that this investment would be made to help small and medium enterprises online.

The company is committed to exporting goods manufactured in India worth $ 10 billion by 2025. We are investing to create one million new jobs in the country in the next five years. He added that we received an unprecedented contribution from our employees.

We have seen the extraordinary creativity of small business owners joining us and have also received unprecedented support from customers. The company has given priority to job creation and skill development initiatives in India.

Statement misinterpreted by people: Goyal

Meanwhile, Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal has made a statement on Amazon's statement on a billion-dollar investment in India. "My statement is being presented by the media as if I had said something against Amazon," he said. I just said that foreign investment should be done under rules. Every country has a law on e-commerce. Any investment that comes within the confines of that law is welcome. Large investments in the retail sector should not affect small business owners. They do not have millions and billions of rupees. They do not get loans at zero percent interest.

Goyal has previously questioned the pitfalls of e-commerce companies

After Amazon founder Jeff Bejos announced a $ 1 billion investment in India, Piyush Goyal said Thursday that Amazon was not doing any good by investing in India. He questioned Amazon's policy and said how such a big loss could happen to an e-commerce company. E-commerce companies have to abide by Indian rules. He should not try to enter the multi-brand retail sector from the back door by finding holes in the law.
