Amit Agarwal Takes Charge of Amazon India as Manish Tiwary Steps Down

  • In a sudden move, Amazon India announced on August 6 that its country head, Manish Tiwary, has resigned to pursue an opportunity outside the company.

  • Amazon India has faced challenges, including high attrition and slower growth compared to competitors, but the company is doubling down on its cloud services business, AWS, with significant investment planned.
