He further added, “We are excited to make Alexa and our Echo devices available for all customers, and we can’t wait to hear about their experiences. Since Alexa runs in the cloud, she is always getting smarter – the Alexa experience in India continues to evolve with new features, even better speech recognition, new localised skills, expanded music selection, and more.”

Amazon Echo devices are smart speaker offerings from the company. Alexa, the built-in assistant, helps in answering any question you throw at it. The speaker also uses services like Amazon Prime Music to play the music asked by the user. Users can also make and receive calls for which they will need to install the Alexa app on their Android and iOS devices. Interestingly, users can also shop online from Amazon by just giving a command to Alexa and the payment will be done using the Amazon Pay balance.
