Amazon-Health

Amazon India has expanded its healthcare portfolio with the launch of Amazon Diagnostics, an at-home diagnostic testing service developed in partnership with Orange Health Labs. Now available in six major cities—Bengaluru, Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Mumbai, and Hyderabad—the service covers over 450 PIN codes and offers access to more than 800 diagnostic tests. Customers can book tests via the Amazon app, schedule home sample collection within 60 minutes, and receive digital reports for routine tests in as little as six hours, making healthcare more accessible and convenient than ever before.

This launch completes Amazon’s integrated healthcare suite in India, which already includes Amazon Pharmacy for medicines and Amazon Clinic for virtual doctor consultations. By bringing these services together under the Amazon Medical umbrella, the company enables a seamless outpatient journey—from doctor consultation to lab testing and medicine delivery—all managed through a single digital platform. The partnership with Orange Health Labs ensures high-quality, reliable diagnostics, supported by Amazon’s operational expertise and focus on customer trust.

Amazon’s entry into the $15 billion Indian diagnostics market signals a major shift in the country’s health-tech landscape, introducing new competition for established diagnostic players. Rather than competing solely on price, Amazon is prioritizing a seamless, trustworthy experience, aiming to address the growing demand for digital healthcare solutions and simplify access for millions of users across India.

Tim Cook: Apple Posts Record India Growth in iPhone, Mac & Services

Published

Apple

Apple CEO Tim Cook revealed that Apple closed the June quarter with record revenue in over two dozen markets, driven by double-digit growth in India across iPhone, Mac and Services. During April–June, iPhone sales in India jumped 13.4% year-on-year, Mac revenue rose 15%, and Services revenue climbed 13%, each marking an all-time quarterly high. Cook emphasized that “we saw iPhone growth in every geographic segment and double-digit growth in emerging markets including India, the Middle East, South Asia, and Brazil.”

India’s strategic importance extends beyond sales into Apple’s supply chain: 71% of iPhones sold in the U.S. now carry “Country of Origin: India,” up from 31% a year ago. This shift underscores Apple’s diversification strategy and its deepening manufacturing partnerships with Foxconn, Pegatron, and Tata Electronics. Cook noted that India has become a “major manufacturing base” for iPhones destined for global markets, reducing reliance on a single region and enhancing supply stability.

Looking forward, Apple plans to open new retail stores in India later this year, bolstering its direct-to-consumer presence and capitalizing on the world’s fastest-growing smartphone market. Despite incurring approximately $800 million in tariff costs during the quarter, Cook affirmed that India’s market potential and manufacturing advantages remain “key pillars of our global strategy” as Apple accelerates its expansion across the subcontinent.

Microsoft vaulted past the $4 trillion market-capitalization milestone on July 31, becoming only the second U.S. company after Nvidia to reach this valuation as AI enthusiasm swept through equity markets. Shares jumped 5.3% on the back of stronger-than-expected fiscal Q4 results, with revenue climbing 18% year-over-year to $76.44 billion and net income rising 24% to $27.23 billion, while earnings per share of $3.65 beat analysts’ $3.37 consensus. 

The company’s Intelligent Cloud segment, led by Azure, delivered 39% revenue growth, pushing full-year Azure sales past $75 billion—a 34% increase—and underscoring cloud and AI as core growth drivers. CEO Satya Nadella emphasized that “Cloud and AI is the driving force of business transformation across every industry and sector,” reflecting momentum from strategic AI investments, including the partnership with OpenAI and proprietary model development. 

Microsoft’s share gains helped propel the Nasdaq Composite up 1.3% to 21,396 and the S&P 500 higher by 0.8%, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average adding 0.3%. Looking ahead, record capital expenditures of $30 billion slated for AI infrastructure and data-center expansion, combined with deep integration of generative AI across Microsoft 365 via Copilot, position the company to sustain market-cap expansion as enterprises accelerate digital transformation.
