What is Amazon India’s I Have Space Program?
Amazon India is changing the way we purchase by providing fast, dependable, and secure deliveries, as well as earning possibilities that empower people on both a personal and professional level. Amazon India introduced a flagship programme called ‘I Have Space’ in 2015 to provide opportunities for modest mom-and-pop kirana retailers (IHS).
Amazon India has been able to recognise and help thousands of micro entrepreneurs and shop owners throughout 350 cities and villages in India as part of the IHS programme. Regardless of the circumstances, including recent lockdowns, the program’s participants have been able to expand their enterprises and improve their financial health by receiving additional income from the programme.
Under this service, Amazon India collaborates with local entrepreneurs and company owners to deliver products to clients within a 2- to 4-kilometer radius of their store, and these stores also serve as pick-up stations for customers. This allows them to raise sales, increase daily income, and increase foot traffic in their establishments.
Most significantly, the health and safety of Amazon India’s partners is a major priority. It continues to offer a variety of support measures for their well-being, such as immunization drives for partners and qualified dependents. It is:
- India- First Initiative.
- Partnership with local store owners.
- Deliveries in your neighborhood areas.
- Additional part time source of income.
- Increased footfalls in the store.

The programme does not require any investments from the local partners, while ensuring consumer traffic to their own stores — translating into a win–win strategy for all. The IHS program requires local store owners to deliver products to customers within a 2–4 km radius of their stores. In addition, their stores also double up as pick-up points for customers residing in the neighborhood. On an average, Amazon’s IHS store partners deliver between 20–30 packages a day, while earning a fixed amount per delivery in return.
