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.
  • Amit Agarwal, SVP India and Emerging Markets, will oversee operations in India, with Tiwary’s team reporting to him, as Amazon does not plan to hire a replacement.
  • The leadership change comes amid a backdrop of reduced competitive intensity for Amazon in India, with rivals like Flipkart and quick commerce companies gaining ground.
  • Industry buzz suggests a power struggle between Tiwary and Agarwal, with the latter being a long-time insider and part of Jeff Bezos' senior leadership team.
  • 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.
