Meanwhile, the US Federal Reserve cut its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points, the fall in prices of home-cooked vegetarian meals slowed down, and Delhi experienced slight relief from pollution. Here's a compilation of this week's news in numbers.

AMAZON'S BET

AMAZON INC. will invest an additional $35 billion in India over the next five years to expand its businesses, ranging from retail to cloud and streaming. It has already poured $40 billion into India since 2010.

The investment is likely to help Amazon compete better with Flipkart and JioMart in online retail, PhonePe and Paytm in online payments, Microsoft and Google in cloud services, and Netflix and others in streaming.

Amazon isn't alone to have pledged large investments.

Microsoft recently announced its largest-ever Asia bet, committing $17.5 billion over four years in artificial intelligence (AI) and data centres. while Google announced a $15 billion investment over five years.
