Imagine a world where tech creators across India can effortlessly review the latest gadgets and get rewarded for every recommendation. That dream is now real, thanks to Amazon India’s new Tech Influencer Program (TIP). Launched at the Best in Tech Awards in New Delhi, TIP aims to empower creators to not just share tech content but to thrive as part of India’s digital commerce future.
Why Amazon Is Betting Big on Tech Creators
Here’s the scoop: today’s shoppers trust creators more than traditional ads. They scroll, compare, and then buy. Nidhi Thakkar, Head of the Creators Program at Amazon India, summarized it best: “Creators are at the heart of how customers discover, research, and purchase products today.”
With TIP, Amazon isn’t just tapping into that trend it’s building the infrastructure to support it. Whether it’s an unboxing video, comparison reel, or a hands-on gadget review, creators are now empowered to deliver value with authenticity and earn along the way.
What TIP Brings to Tech Influencers
Think of the Tech Influencer Program as a comprehensive toolkit designed just for tech creators:
- Early access to product launches and deals – Because timing is everything.
- Competitive commission structure – This means creators benefit directly from conversions.
- Editorial freedom – No cookie-cutter content. Your style, your voice.
- Affiliate tools, training, and growth strategies – To help you scale efficiently.

If TIP were a rocket, these are the thrusts that push creators into orbit.
