Amazon, the world's largest online retailer, began as a simple online bookstore.

Founded by Jeff Bezos in 1994, the company rapidly expanded its product offerings to encompass virtually everything imaginable.

Amazon's success can be attributed to several key factors:

  • Customer Obsession: From the outset, Amazon prioritized customer satisfaction, offering competitive prices, fast shipping, and exceptional customer service.

  • Innovation: The company continuously introduced groundbreaking features like one-click ordering, Kindle e-readers, and Amazon Web Services (AWS).

  • Diversification: Amazon expanded beyond retail into areas like cloud computing, streaming, and grocery delivery, creating multiple revenue streams.


Amazon's ability to anticipate customer needs and adapt to changing market trends has been instrumental in its growth.

By focusing on providing value to customers and investing in technology, Amazon has solidified its position as an industry leader.
