2.  Amazon.com also called Amazon, is an
American electronic commerce and
cloud computing company that was
founded on July 5, 1994, by Jeff Bezos
and is based in Seattle, Washington.
Amazon started out as an online
bookstore and then quickly diversified
by adding other items, including DVDs,
music, video games, electronics, and
clothing.

3. UNKNOWN FACTS
• Bezos incorporated the company as "Cadabra" on July 5, 1994.
Bezos changed the name to Amazon a year later after a lawyer
misheard its original name as "cadaver". In September 1994, Bezos
purchased the URL Relentless.com and briefly considered naming his
online store Relentless, but friends told him the name sounded a bit
sinister. The domain is still owned by Bezos and still redirects to the
retailer. The company went online as Amazon.com in 1995.
• Bezos selected the name Amazon by looking through the dictionary
and settled on "Amazon“. the Amazon river, he noted was by far the
"biggest" river in the world and he planned to make his store the
biggest in the world.

4. • The First Book Sale: Amazon.com sold its first book from Jeff
Bezos' Seattle area garage in July of 1995. The book was Fluid
Concepts & Creative Analogies: Computer Models of the
Fundamental Mechanisms of Thought.
• During its first month in business, Amazon.com received orders
from people in 50 U.S. states and 45 countries across the world.
• Amazon has separate retail websites for the United States, the
United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Canada, Germany, Italy, Spain,
Netherlands, Australia, Brazil, Japan, China, India, and Mexico.
Amazon also offers international shipping to certain other
countries for some of its products. In 2016, Dutch, Polish, and
Turkish language versions of the German Amazon website were
launched.

5. • PowerPoint presentations, for instance, are banned by the company.
Instead, all meetings begin with a silent, 30-minute reading session about
the topic at hand. This is to emphasize critical thinking over oversimplified
stats.
• Amazon encourages teamwork, but suggests that teams on each project
are limited to the number of people who could theoretically be fed by two
pizzas.
• Amazon's fastest order delivered to date was a four-pack of Starbucks
vanilla Frappuccino to a customer in Miami. The delivery was made in
under 10 minutes.

6. • In addition to the Post, Bezos founded space travel company Blue
Origin in 2000, and is also spearheading the construction of a
10,000 Year Clock inside a mountain range in West Texas.
• Bezos reportedly fields questions from the public at
jeff@amazon.com. When valid complaints arise, he forwards them
to appropriate employees with a simple -- though slightly terrifying --
‘?’ in the body of each message.
• Former Amazon employees have gone on to found blockbuster
companies of their own, including Jason Kilar, the founder of Hulu
and Vessel, and Charlie Cheever, the creator of Quora. Flipkart was
founded by Sachin Bansal and Binny Bansal
• Of Amazon’s many acquisitions, Zappos has been its biggest buy
thus far, clocking in at $1.2 billion. The company’s portfolio also
includes Audible, IMDB and, most recently, Twitch. In an
unexpected move, Bezos purchased The Washington Post for $250
million in 2013.

retailer to draw more customers into Amazon Automotive,
which sells millions of items for cars, including replacement
parts, tires and tools.

10. ABOUT AMAZON INDIA
• Amazon only officially launched in the country in June 2013, but it's
now the company's fastest growing geography in terms of sales.
• Amazon also says that it's the biggest online store in India with more
than 25 million products for sale.
• Right now, India has the third greatest number of internet users in the
world, after China and the United States, and is similarly ranked in
smartphone penetration. Researchers expect the online shopping
market in India to reach $15 billion by 2016 up from only $35 million in
2014.
• Amazon wheeled out a program called Amazon Chai Cart: mobile tea
carts that navigated city streets, serving refreshments to small-
business owners while teaching them the virtues of e-commerce. The
Chai Cart team reportedly traveled more than 9,400 miles across 31
cities and engaged with more than 10,000 sellers.

12. • Amazon Chai Cart where we deployed
three-wheeled mobile carts to navigate
in a city’s business districts, serve tea,
water and lemon juice to small business
owners and teach them about selling
online.
• Through this program and other
conversations with sellers, they found
out there was a lot of interest in selling
online, but that sellers struggled with the
belief that the process was time-
consuming, tedious and complex.
• So, they invented Amazon Tatkal, which
enables small businesses to get online
in less than 60 minutes,”
