What does Amazon's Propel accelerator actually give me, and is it worth applying?
Propel is Amazon's own cohort program for Indian brands going global, past cohorts (Slurrp Farm, Solethreads, Perfora) got hands-on account management, marketing credits and sometimes cash grants, not just a webinar. It's worth applying if you already have traction in India and a genuinely exportable product; it won't fix a brand with no product-market fit. Treat the credits as a subsidized way to de-risk your first six months abroad, not a growth hack on their own.
