The company said that more than 70 per cent of customers who shop on Amazon.in in regional languages are from tier 2 and below cities.

"Amazon.in continues to make e-commerce more inclusive by lowering the barriers for customers across the country including those in tier 2 and below geographies so that they enjoy the benefits of shopping online," said Thota.

The company said it will bring new features and invest in innovations to make their shopping experience enjoyable and fulfilling in India.
