Amazon said on Thursday that it would invest about $233 million in its India business to further build out its operations infrastructure, develop new tools for its delivery network, and work on employee safety and well-being programs.
The company said the investment helps it double down on its efforts to deliver to all pin-codes in the country.
“This investment will enhance processing capacity, improve fulfilment speed, and increase efficiency across the company’s operations network,” Amazon said in a blog post.
As part of the investment, the company will continue work on some initiatives to support its contractors and employees, including rest spots for delivery personnel; financial education and support; scholarships for associates’ children; and healthcare support for truck drivers.
Amazon said it is also developing new software and tools to help delivery personnel with navigation, safety, and the overall delivery process.
