How to add skills to Alexa on your Amazon Echo devices
Alexa Skills are like apps for your Echo device — they let you order food, listen to devotional chants, play games, check train schedules, or control your smart home. In India, Alexa supports localised skills — from cricket score updates to devotional aartis and even smart home controls with Indian brands like Wipro and Syska. Here’s a simple four-step guide for users:

Use the Alexa App
Open the Amazon Alexa app on your smartphone (available on iOS and Android). Make sure you’re signed in with your Amazon India account.
2/3

Browse or Search Skills
Tap on “More” → “Skills & Games.” You can either browse categories like Music, Education, or Smart Home, or use the search bar to find specific ones such as Zomato, Flash Briefing, or IRCTC.
3/3

nable the Skill
Once you find a skill you want, tap on it and select Enable to Use. Some skills may require linking your account — for example, ordering food via Swiggy or checking Paytm wallet balance.
