Amazon introduced their Prime services here in India last year at an introductory price of Rs. 499 per year. The price was aggressive compared to Hotstar, Netflix, and even Flipkart First service. But Amazon has now announced that it will be increasing the price to Rs. 999 in a few days.
Amazon Prime offers the customers several benefits including free delivery on selected items, early access to deals and discounted sales, Prime Video service (which hosts multiple TV shows and movies). The Amazon Firestick has significantly increased the number of Prime subscribers in India as well.
You can still get one year of Prime membership at Rs. 499 for the coming week, and we would recommend getting it done quick before the Diwali sales begin.
Amazon has been working hard to get local language content on its prime video service in India. Amazon now hosts most of the popular standup comic shows, and other regional language shows as well.than 11 million products are under Prime benefits on the platform and they get about 40% orders from the Prime customers.
The numbers for Amazon Prime are really mind-boggling, there are more than 11 million products under Prime benefits on the platform and Amazon gets about 40% orders from the Prime customers.
Moreover, Amazon has also brought its new Echo, Echo Plus and Echo Dot to India. You can avail 30% introductory offer on all three along with 1-year or free Prime service. At present Echo devices in India will only support English language for Alexa, but we expect more regional languages to be added soon.
