Under Sellers University, Amazon India is focusing at both self-service training and structured programmes with human interaction. Currently, the program runs seller central, an online portal to help vendors at remote locations in understanding platform’s functioning and the benefits it can provide to small businesses and YouTube channel to train people about marketplace model and how to sell through it.

Another program hosted in the Seller University’s kitty is “Amazon Trained Ecommerce Specialists (ATES)” which was a pilot project across four cities. It was reported that more than 350 assignments were handled by 100 trained ATES.
