According to reports, one of the major e-commerce sites in India, Amazon, would end its meal delivery service there in December. Despite the fact that Amazon's food delivery service has not been as profitable as Swiggy or Zomato, the news nonetheless comes as a surprise given that the corporation recently opted to close down its edtech division as well.

 According to reports, Amazon's restaurant partners were informed of its most recent decision to discontinue food delivery services and reminded that these services would end on December 29. The Economic Times was able to gain access to a correspondence from Amazon in which the corporation made it plain that its food delivery service, known as Amazon Food, will end on December 29.

 The e-commerce behemoth has also promised the restaurant partners that up to the specified time, it will fulfil all 'payments and other contractual duties.' However, as stated in the letter, the business will give partners access to Amazon tools and data through January 31. 

According to a report, Amazon told its restaurant partners, 'You will continue to accept orders up until that point, and we expect you to continue fulfilling those orders. In order to compete with Swiggy and Zomato, the e-commerce behemoth established Amazon Food in India. 

In May 2020, the service made its debut in Bengaluru. By March 2021, Amazon Food had opened 62 locations in Bengaluru. A day after it was reported that the corporation was ending Amazon Academy, the online learning platform for high school students in India, there was an announcement to close Amazon Food. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Amazon Academy platform made its debut early last year.
