The organization says that the Amazon Prime service received its highest number of subscribers from India the year it was launched. The platform can be availed in 16 countries, and among all of them it is in India that it has grown the quickest. The fact that the subscription rate is low also seems to have played a major role in this regard, considering how price sensitive people in the country are.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>3.
