The Hon. Chief Minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee, was present when the Memorandum of Understanding was signed.

The Chief Secretary of the Government of West Bengal, Dr. Manoj Pant, was among the other dignitaries present. Amazon is partnering with the West Bengal government to train and onboard local MSMEs onto its Global Selling program. This will enable these businesses to sell their "Made in India" products to millions of Amazon customers in over 200 countries and territories. Amazon Global Selling simplifies global expansion for Indian MSMEs, providing immediate access to international markets and leveraging Amazon's distribution network and global reach for rapid scaling. Currently, over 150,000 Indian exporters participate in the program, having collectively generated over $13 billion in exports. Many of these businesses have successfully built globally recognized brands through e-commerce exports. Amazon has pledged to enable over $80 billion in cumulative exports from India by 2030. Rajesh Pandey, IAS, Principal Secretary, Department of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises and Textiles, Government of West Bengal, stated that they have made digitising small businesses and increasing state exports their top priorities, and he wanted to thank Amazon for starting projects that support these goals. For the sake of the thousands of business owners in West Bengal, their state will collaborate closely with Amazon. Initiatives like this, in his opinion, can help them expand their business by connecting with clients worldwide and supporting their state's expanding digital economy.
