Amazon appoints Samir Kumar as head of India operations

E-commerce major Amazon has appointed Samir Kumar as the country head for India. Kumar will continue to lead Amazon’s consumer businesses in the Middle East, South Africa, and Turkey. Kumar will replace Manish Tiwary, the head of Amazon’s India operations, who left the firm to pursue an opportunity outside of the company in August this year. Amit Agarwal, who is the vice president of Amazon India, will now oversee India operations alongwith Kumar. It’s worth noting that the duo had already worked together in the past. The appointment coincides with Amazon India’s plan to foray into quick commerce market. The e-commerce giant plans to enter the space, currently dominated by the likes of BlinkIt, Zepto and Instamart, in the first quarter of 2025.
