In this episode of "Titans of Industry," we explored Amazon.com, Inc.'s transformative journey from an online bookstore to a global leader in e-commerce and cloud computing. Founded by Jeff Bezos in 1994, Amazon revolutionized online shopping with innovations like Amazon Prime, offering fast shipping and additional perks that drove customer loyalty. The launch of AWS (Amazon Web Services) in 2006 further solidified Amazon's influence, pioneering scalable cloud computing solutions that are now integral to businesses worldwide. Strategic acquisitions, such as Zappos and Whole Foods, expanded Amazon's market reach and diversified its business portfolio. Despite challenges and controversies, Amazon's commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction continues to shape the digital landscape. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
