About us

Amazon is guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus, passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking. We are driven by the excitement of building technologies, inventing products, and providing services that change lives. We embrace new ways of doing things, make decisions quickly, and are not afraid to fail. We have the scope and capabilities of a large company, and the spirit and heart of a small one. Together, Amazonians research and develop new technologies from Amazon Web Services to Alexa on behalf of our customers: shoppers, sellers, content creators, and developers around the world. Our mission is to be Earth's most customer-centric company. Our actions, goals, projects, programs, and inventions begin and end with the customer top of mind. You'll also hear us say that at Amazon, it's always "Day 1." What do we mean? That our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon's very first day - to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and focus on delighting our customers.

    Project Rainier is now online—the world’s most powerful operational AI supercomputer. Built hand-in-glove with Anthropic, Project Rainier features nearly 500,000 Trainium 2 chips, delivering over five times the compute power Anthropic used for its previous models. Anthropic is already using Project Rainier to train and run inference for Claude, its industry-leading AI model. By year’s end, Claude is expected to be running on more than 1 million Trainium 2 chips across Anthropic’s direct usage and Amazon Bedrock. Watch the video below for a behind-the-scenes look at how a Project Rainier UltraServer comes to life—from delivery to full deployment.

    Our new Echo Dot Max and redesigned Echo Studio, purpose-built for Alexa+, are available starting today. Both sound incredible. Echo Studio is 40% smaller but still fills the room with rich, immersive sound and Dolby Atmos support. Echo Dot Max brings our first two-way speaker system to Dot, with nearly 3× the bass of the last generation. They even adapt to your space — analyzing your room’s acoustics and tuning automatically. And under the hood, our custom AZ3 silicon powers the most advanced Echo experience yet. I’m so grateful to the teams who obsessed every detail to bring these to life. Can’t wait for you to try them. https://lnkd.in/gW_BiXVS

    I’m delighted to announce Amazon’s inaugural 2025 Culture and Creative Industries Impact Report, which underscores how we are helping bring local stories to global stages. In addition to my day to day responsibilities, I’m an avid reader -- I always have my Kindle on me. I’ve also engaged in the creative industries as a novice movie producer, investing in films made by artists I respect who want to tell important stories. I’ve witnessed firsthand how digital innovation empowers the creative community across creation, distribution, and consumption, globally.

    Diwali is more than just a celebration—it’s a moment to honor tradition, connect with colleagues, and foster a spirit of unity. At our Bangalore BLR2 office and across India, Amazonians come together to honor cherished traditions, share festive moments, and celebrate the rich tapestry of cultures that drive our innovation. From vibrant Rangoli art to the sweetness of traditional treats, these celebrations remind us that when we support one another, we create something extraordinary. This is what makes Amazon special—not just what we build, but how we build it together. Happy Diwali to all who celebrate! ✨

    Love seeing this heartfelt note about our Delivery Service Partner, Ronald Dubon and team... — Sometimes, the smallest hearts remind the biggest companies what kindness truly looks like. When a four-year-old boy dreamed of having an Amazon-themed birthday party—complete with the thrill of seeing a real delivery van—no one could have imagined that Amazon itself would make that dream come true. Despite being one of the largest and busiest companies in the world, Amazon found the time, heart, and humanity to show up in a deeply personal way. On short notice, they didn’t just send one delivery van—they brought two: a classic Amazon delivery van and a cutting-edge electric model. Their team arrived with smiles, good spirits, and arms full of gifts, turning a simple backyard celebration into a once-in-a-lifetime memory. Every child got to climb behind the wheel, honk the horn, and pretend to be an Amazon driver for a day. The laughter, joy, and awe on their faces said everything words could not.    In a world where large corporations often feel distant, Amazon proved that compassion and community still matter. Their thoughtful gesture—done not for publicity, but from genuine goodwill—brought magic to a young boy’s birthday and touched every heart in attendance.   It was a powerful reminder that even the biggest companies are made up of people who care, and their unexpected generosity should never go unnoticed. Thank you, Amazon, for showing that behind every box and logo lies a company capable of incredible kindness.
