The hiring spans fulfilment centres, sorting facilities and delivery stations in more than 400 cities, with the company already onboarding most of the new workers ahead of the Diwali festival period, Amazon India said on Monday. This includes opportunities for thousands of women associates as well as over 2,000 persons with disabilities (PWDs) in its network. 'This festive season, we continue to be focused on providing fast and reliable deliveries to customers in every serviceable pin code across India,' said Abhinav Singh, Vice-President, Operations, India and Australia, Amazon. 'Many of these people continue their journey with Amazon beyond the festive period, with a significant number returning to work with us year after year.' As part of its commitment to support the well-being of associates in the e-commerce network in India, Amazon has implemented a range of initiatives. These include the expansion of Ashray rest centres to 100 nationwide in 2025. The company also has a health and well-being initiative providing free health check-ups to over 80,000 delivery associates across major cities. This brings essential healthcare directly to last-mile delivery stations, offering services that include eye, dental, BMI, and physician consultations. 'The company's focus on safety measures gives me confidence while working in the operations network,' said Manisha Singh, an associate who recently joined Amazon and is working at one of its fulfilment centres in Bengaluru. Amazon's Early Access to Pay (EATP) programme allows associates to withdraw up to 80 per cent of their accrued basic salary between the 1st and 20th of each month, promoting financial flexibility and wellness. The company is also working on initiatives to address knowledge gaps around basic financial well-being topics and government support programmes. Associates working at Amazon sites are entitled to two days off each week. In addition, they receive mandatory holidays, optional holidays, annual leave, sick leave, and casual leave in accordance with applicable labour laws. India's upcoming festive season is expected to generate more than 216,000 seasonal jobs, with demand for gig and temporary workers projected to rise 15–20 per cent in the second half of 2025 compared with a year earlier, according to industry estimates.

Amazon Program to Empower India's Women in Tech Announces 500 More Scholarships
Amazon India today celebrates the graduation of its first Amazon Future Engineer (AFE) scholarship program's cohort and announces 500 new scholarships for the 2025-2029 academic cycle. The program supports female engineering students from low-income backgrounds, providing equal opportunities in education and career development. Over 80% of the first 200 graduates have secured positions at leading Fortune 500 companies, with several joining Amazon's own engineering teams. "Amazon is deeply committed to fostering diversity in India's tech workforce by creating pathways for talented young women who might otherwise be excluded from the country's digital revolution," said Prateek Agarwal, Amazon Future Engineer Lead, Amazon India. "Seeing these scholars—many of whom are first-generation college graduates from tier-2 and tier-3 cities like Latur in Maharashtra and Chaibasa in Jharkhand—transform into confident tech professionals demonstrates the impact of providing equal opportunities in education and career development. Success demonstrates what happens when opportunities meet potential: exceptional talent emerges regardless of background." Each scholar receives a comprehensive package that includes financial assistance of ₹2 lakh over a period of four years, a laptop, specialized training to help bridge any skill gaps via technical bootcamps, paid Amazon internships, and one-on-one career mentorship from experienced engineers. Samala Keerthi, a graduate who joined Amazon full-time as a Software Development Engineer after her internship, said, "Coming from a small town in Telangana where my father runs a kirana shop earning less than ₹25,000 monthly, getting a job at Amazon seemed impossible. The scholarship didn't just provide financial support—it gave me confidence, mentorship, and real-world experience that transformed my career." Amazon has collaborated with the Foundation for Excellence (FFE), a non-profit dedicated to empowering students from low-income backgrounds, to implement a rigorous selection process that evaluates candidates based on academic merit, financial need, and leadership potential. The selected scholars will be announced in early 2026. "What makes the Amazon Future Engineer program truly exceptional is its holistic approach to nurturing the next generation of female technology leaders," said Ram Kolavennu, Chief Executive Officer, Foundation for Excellence, Amazon's implementation partner for the scholarship program. "By integrating financial support, mentorship, skills development, and real-world experience at a global technology leader like Amazon, this program empowers talented young women from low-income backgrounds with transformative opportunities in technology. It's not just shaping bright engineers but technology leaders of the future." Since its inception in 2022, the Amazon Future Engineer Scholarship Program has awarded 1,700 scholarships to young women across four cohorts, with scholars completing internships in seven technical job roles.
