Amazon to pull down shutters in food-delivery business in India on Dec 29

Amazon India has decided to shut its food delivery business on December 29 this year, according to a letter sent by the e-commerce giant to its restaurant partners. This follows its recent decision to shut down its edtech offering in India from August 2023.

“After a careful evaluation, we have decided to discontinue Amazon Food from December 29, 2022. This decision means that you will no longer get orders from customers via Amazon Food after this date. You will continue to receive orders till then and we expect you to continue fulfilling those orders,” Amazon told its restaurant partners.

Amazon Food had onboarded about 3,000 restaurant partners including quick-service restaurant brands such as McDonald’s and Domino’s Pizza, according to the sources.
