The counter-case
The case against this reading — not reported by the source.
A pre-scheduled Prime Day announcement is one of the most predictable retail-calendar events of the year. Amazon has run Prime Day annually for nearly a decade; the only 'news' is the date and the standard headline discount percentages, which are quoted at the maximum ('up to 40%/80%/65%') and rarely reflect typical realized savings. The bank tie-ups (SBI/Axis/ICICI) are recurring boilerplate. There is no genuine delta here that changes the competitive landscape, margins, or consumer behavior beyond what every prior Prime Day already established.
