When contacted, Amazon declined to comment.<\/p>\n<p>Amazon, which has seen significant growth in its business in India, has also witnessed protest from a section of traders in the country who claim that e-commerce giants including Amazon and Walmart-owned <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.financialexpress.com\/tag\/flipkart\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Flipkart<\/a> offer deep discounts and engage in unfair business practices.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, the government had tightened rules for e-commerce marketplaces with foreign investment. These rules barred such platforms from offering products of sellers in which they hold a stake and banned exclusive marketing arrangements among other clauses. Following this, Amazon restructured its joint ventures to ensure compliance.<\/p>\n<p>Bezos is likely to discuss regulatory issues in his meeting with the government officials. He is also slated to engage with SMBs during the SMBhav event.
