“Amazon is trusted by millions of Indians across the country every day for making essential products easily accessible, and we believe that quality education should be no exception.

This effort will make it easier for students, parents, and educators to access the resources they need, supporting their learning journey without compromise.” said Saurabh Srivastava- Vice President, of Categories, Amazon India.

Apart from selling books to individual customers, Amazon India will work on simplifying bulk ordering for government agencies and schools to make it easier for them to procure large volumes of textbooks. To support this, NCERT has appointed designated distribution vendors who will work with sellers on Amazon.in to ensure timely and efficient deliveries
