Amazon India's estd P&L: $21.3Bn in GMV, $5.6Bn in revenue (15% B2C take rate), $0.9Bn annual losses

  • Overall, Indian eComm is now $120Bn in size
  • Continues to be Amazon's fastest growing foreign market going into the closing of this year.
  • FY23 was an impact of Covid baked in growth.
  • Amazon would be quite okay with losing just $900Mn annually for the opportunity this presents

If Amazon is 25 billion out of 120 total. Where is the other 95? I would assume Amazon and Flipkart would be 3/4th of ecommerce, no?

Amazon is 25, Flipkart another 25
Meesho 5. Myntra and Nykaa following it.

Not exacts but those are the rough numbers I know

So its more like 70-75? (Even if you add quick commerce ones, its still additional 5). So, 120 seems a little exaggerated, no?

Don't they deliberately show losses to avoid taxes?

Stupidity at its best. Don't listen to people who say this.

When you "show loss" you also need to fund it. The "loss" is an exponentially higher number than the tax to be paid.

No one in their right mind would say, "Oh let me lose $1bn so I don't have to pay $250mn in taxes" UNLESS they have black income.

That's the difference right? - I said "Showing losses" and not actual loss. They have multiple different revenue stream especially from cloud business that can fund these losses.

Yea 0.9b is chump change to Amazon. The opportunity to capture a big chunk of Indian e-commerce is huge. They can outlast the competition for years to come and then start making the profits

The competition is Walmart
