Manish Tiwary Resigns as Amazon India Head

Manish Tiwary, the country head of Amazon India, is set to resign in October after an impactful eight-year tenure. He joined Amazon in 2016 following a successful career at Unilever, where he managed operations across South Asia and the Gulf region. Tiwary's leadership has been pivotal in establishing Amazon.in as a leading marketplace in India, although the company faces stiff competition from local rivals like Flipkart and Meesho. Amazon confirmed Tiwary's departure but did not disclose his next career move nor an immediate successor, indicating that the current leadership will collaborate during this transition. The e-commerce giant has invested over $7 billion in India and is shifting focus towards its cloud business amidst challenges in smaller cities. Analysts report that Amazon's growth has been hindered by its limited offerings and logistics compared to domestic competitors.
