At this junction, his affiliation with Amazon.in’s ‘I Have SpaceProgram’ made him independent and completely transformed his life by boosting his capabilities to earn additional income. Through the program, his monthly income has more than doubled and today, his family leads a much better life in Indore, Madhya Pradesh.
Amazon.in has partnered with more than 160+ such I Have Space stores in Madhya Pradesh, with a 125% growth in store footprint in the statein just one year.

Prakash, owner ofMoonlight Dry Cleanerssaid, “Through I Have Space program, Amazon has provided me with an opportunity to source additional income to better support my family. Through the program, I have received recognition in the area that I deliver. Furthermore, it has improved the business of my dry-cleaning store as well.”
AkhilSaxena, Vice President, India Customer Fulfilment, Amazon.in said, “It’s humbling to see that we have not only extended our reach and gotten closer to our customers but have also empowered thousands of local entrepreneurs across the country to leverage our platform and scale greater heights.”
Under the ‘I Have Space program’ (IHS), Amazon India partners with local store owners to provide pickup and delivery services to customers across different cities within a 2 – 4 kilometer radius of their store. These local entrepreneurs understand their area well and have immense goodwill in their neighbourhood to efficiently deliver and receive products. Amazon.in has successfully unlocked the potential of such store owners, allowing them to supplement their regular income and generate more footfalls in their stores. On an average, Amazon India’s store partners deliver between 30 to 40 packages a day, earning a fixed amount per delivery.
The Amazon India I Have Space program is open to all store owners who have the ability to service on foot or a two-wheeler. The only requirement to be an I Have Space partner is for the store owner to have sufficient manpower to make local deliveries during their off-peak hours and space for storage of the packages. Currently, this program primarily consists of grocery, telecom, stationery, chemists, general stores and other modern trade outlets to name a few. The I Have Space team at Amazon.in evaluates interested store owners on these parameters and their ability to be able to partner with Amazon and the core culture of being customer obsessed.
Once the stores are on boarded, Amazon then further trains the store partners and helps them develop customer management skills focusing on formal customer interaction etiquettes, grooming, safety and overall delivering a positive customer experience.
This program currently covers 17, 500 stores across 225 cities including Dehradun, Chandigarh, Amritsar, Jodhpur, Ajmer, Kota, Vadodara, Bharuch, Nasik, Kolhapur, Belgaum, Tirupur, Warangal, Vellore, Salem, Guntur, Raipur, Agra and Dehradun in addition to all large metros. The channel handles a significant proportion of Amazon Logistics’ volumes in cities where it is present and is instrumental in fulfilling customer promises while transforming lives across the country.
