Amazon explains how Apple is driving India's premium boom and why nonstop sales still make sense
Not long ago, we at India Today Tech wrote an opinion piece about the rise of online sales in India and how most of them appear to be a Netflix show with far too many spin-offs. The idea was to understand – as a user – if they were 'a bit much' given how frequently e-commerce players are hosting them. Amazon is obviously one of them. But there are always two sides to a story, which is why, when we got a chance to speak directly to Amazon, we decided to talk about this aspect at length to try and understand the merits of some of these sales decisions and why they conversation – with Zeba Khan, Director of Consumer Electronics at Amazon India – was insightful and, frankly speaking, an eye-opener. With online sales as a focal point, we delved into India's – and invariably Amazon's – larger growth story expedited by growing premiumisation across quarters – and particularly consumer electronics – and reasons why more and more people want to buy premium products – and how Amazon is working round-the-clock to ensure they Amazon approach to consumer engagementHaving previously helmed Amazon India's fashion and beauty business, Khan offers a unique perspective on the similarities and differences in engaging consumers across diverse categories. 'One thing that works for Amazon India across categories is our focus on customer inputs,' Khan explains. 'Providing the latest and widest selection, along with offering strong value – which isn't just about price, but overall affordability – resonates universally.'advertisement However, the high-consideration nature of consumer electronics presents a unique challenge. Unlike fashion, where customers often desire to 'touch and feel,' tech purchases demand a different kind of assurance. 'In consumer electronics, it's more about providing the best information and helping customers make informed, assisted purchases,' Khan elaborates. "Simplifying the customer's experience is something they truly value."Amazon has invested heavily in making the often-overwhelming world of consumer electronics accessible to everyone. Rufus, the Gen AI shopping assistant, available on the Amazon app, is proving particularly impactful in consumer electronics. 'Customers can share the use case they're looking for, and Rufus will compare products to recommend which ones might be better suited for them,' Khan says, noting its high interaction rate within the category. While a global product, Rufus has been trained on Indian shopping habits and customer customers overwhelmed by choice, Smart Choice offers a curated, simplified selection of laptops and tablets at competitive prices. 'The selection is further divided based on different use cases such as work laptops, gaming, and more,' Khan adds, ensuring a more intuitive shopping experience. This program, too, benefits from extensive local research into how Indian customers approach laptop purchases, whether through price bands or specific use is always a combination of global technology and local customisation, and these always work in tandem,' Khan rise of premiumisation in IndiaThe data shows a clear trend: India is increasingly embracing premium products and Amazon seems to be one of the go-to destinations for many buyers. Despite a muted overall market, premium devices (INR 30,000 and above) are experiencing strong double-digit growth, with Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities accounting for almost 70 percent of this demand, Khan the PC industry has faced headwinds, Amazon is observing good growth, particularly in the premium category in metros (double-digit growth) and the ultra-premium segment (INR 1,00,000 and above), which is soaring at over 30 percent year-on-year. The tablet segment is also rapidly expanding, with premium tablets (INR 30,000 and above) growing at a remarkable 60 percent year-on-year. Notably, 75 percent of premium tablet buyers are first-time purchasers, she adds. Moreover, premium smartwatches (INR 10,000 and above) are seeing a robust 40 percent year-on-year growth after a period of stagnation.'It indicates that our efforts in educating customers about premium selections and improving affordability are moving in the right direction,' Khan says, attributing this success to Amazon's focus on democratising access to the latest technology and making it affordable through various options. Value-added services like phone and laptop setup, installation, and extended warranties, consistently rated 4.85 stars and above across 300 cities, further bolster customer confidence in these high-value India's potentialAmazon's success in this premiumisation wave is not just about product availability but also about reach. Khan credits the operational prowess of Amazon's teams for servicing '100 percent of serviceable PIN codes in India – which, in a country of this scale, is no small feat.' This extensive network, coupled with continuous efforts to improve delivery speeds and seamless inventory management with vendor and seller partners, ensures that aspirational products are accessible even in the farthest corners of the country.'All of this is driving aspirations upward. For example, a person in a Tier 3 town today wants access to the latest technology,' Khan explains. 'This is where Amazon plays a very critical role because we make it available not only to the last PIN code in India but also make it as affordable as possible.'Apple driving the premium smartphone boomWhen asked specifically about Apple's influence, Khan acknowledges its significant contribution to the premium smartphone segment. 'Apple is a premium smartphone brand that is growing very well. On our platform as well, the premium smartphone segment is the fastest growing for us, and Apple is one of the key brands driving that growth,' she highlights that customers often approach smartphone purchases with a specific brand in mind, and Amazon's role is to facilitate that journey. 'Our role as a retailer is to ensure that we're providing them with the most transparent, complete, and accurate information on our product detail pages,' she says. By offering detailed visuals, videos, expert recommendations, and customer reviews, Amazon empowers consumers to confidently make premium smartphone purchases sale season never endsClearly, the consumer's appetite for premium products is growing – and so are online sales. While it might seem like 'too many sales,' Khan says there is a method to this madness. 'As retailers, our attempt is to create demand moments and meaningful shopping experiences for our customers – across different needs and customer cohorts,' she the major events like Diwali and Prime Day, Amazon has found tremendous value in creating topical and seasonal sales. Khan cites the example of the 'Electronics Premier League' in March 2025, which timed strategically with the IPL season. 'It was an experimental event for us, and we went in with a learning mindset. But we were pleasantly surprised by how well it performed.' The theme of 'streaming and screening' brought together relevant categories like smartphones, TVs, laptops, and speakers, contextualising the need for upgrades around a popular cultural customers who may not have been actively thinking about upgrading their devices suddenly considered it because we contextualised it for them,' Khan notes. Similarly, 'Back to School' events for laptops and tablets, and 'Gaming Days' catering to a niche, engaged audience, have proven highly successful. 'While it may appear that there are many sales happening, the reality is that each of them serves a distinct purpose and audience,' Khan concludes. 'As long as we can continue to curate experiences that are relevant and meaningful to each cohort, I believe that's the recipe for success.'The first half of the year was strong. Khan remains optimistic about the other half. 'We're now working towards Prime Day, especially in consumer electronics, which is typically a very new-launch-heavy category. We're partnering with a lot of brands for some exciting launches,' she reveals. 'The big moments – Prime Day and the festive season – are yet to come.'Defining success through internal growth milestones and broader industry performance, Khan expresses satisfaction with Amazon's performance so far and hopes that with the right initiatives, including strong partnerships and a nuanced approach to sales, it will continue to reap the benefits, lapping up customers as India ramps up its premiumisation drive.

AI Resurrections and Their Place in India's Tech Landscape- Could India Lead the AI Afterlife Market? Digital Resurrection Meets Desi Sentiment.
Why India Makes Sense for AI Afterlife Services: Live Events The Ethical Conflict: When the world witnessed Zhang Yiyi, a Chinese father, share a video of his 'conversation with his departed son made possible by an AI-powered avatar,' people on the internet were left in awe and discomfort. The ability to "resurrect" the departed sounds like a concept straight out of science fiction; with AI, however, it has entered the mainstream tech conversations. The " Grief Tech " sector has piqued India's interest due to its potential benefits, especially given the country's profound connections to legacy and to the world of AI resurrections , also known as 'Grief Tech,' a blend of generative AI, deepfake technology, and emotional design that replicates the face, voice, mannerisms, and appearance of the startups like South Korea's DeepBrain AI and the U.S.-based HereAfter AI are already creating grief-tech services, such as interactive memorial avatars that simulate conversations with the deceased. These services blend audio cloning, facial synthesis, and memory curation. Closer to home, startups like Deepsync and Resemble AI (which has Indian engineering roots) are laying the technical foundation for voice cloning and emotion AI in India. While India doesn't yet have a fully dedicated grief tech startup, the building blocks are firmly in offers a unique cultural context for the digital afterlife , like its strong ancestral reverence. Indian society places high emotional and ritualistic value on honoring the departed. Services that could potentially preserve their being or simulate the departed's voice or likeness could appeal to this from satisfying sentimental aspects, India has a massive digital archival potential. Thanks to smartphone penetration, the average urban Indian now leaves behind gigabytes of videos, photos, and voice messages, perfect for AI to digest and generate optimal Indian start-ups, supported by a large AI talent pool and lower development costs, can build tools for this market a lot more cost-effectively than most of their global counterparts. (Economic Survey 2023-24, Nasscom-Deloitte AI talent report)Startups working in synthetic media, such as Deepsync (voice cloning for podcasting), and academic labs at IIIT-Hyderabad and IIT-Madras, have the technical backbone to power such services. Generative AI labs like Sarvam AI are also investing in emotion-sensitive models that could power ethical memory bots . These players might not brand themselves as "grief tech," but they're producing the very engines on which India's version of the digital afterlife could related to death are difficult to talk about and are often associated with immense sensitivity, making the inevitability of controversy surrounding digital resurrection evident. The concept of digital resurrection continues to evoke mixed opinions, with concerns of privacy and ethics. Critics warn against psychological dependency, exploitation of grief, and issues of consent, especially when the departed never agreed on being 'digitally revived.' The emergence of this concept challenges conventional understandings of mourning and memory in an increasingly digital world. It has also raised awareness about the significance of digital wills among the at it through a culture-centric lens, cultural attitudes may vary sharply across regions in India; while some embrace AI for spiritual continuity, others could see it as an interference with 'karmic cycles' or 'dharma. The legal framework in India remains underdeveloped regarding issues such as the data rights of the deceased, regulations surrounding deepfakes, and the management of digital India continues to define its position in the global AI landscape, grief tech could become a niche where Indian startups innovate with both cultural and emotional intelligence; blending memory, technology, and emotion into a service economy tailored to the afterlife.
