Manish Tiwary has resigned as the country head of Amazon India after spending eight-and-a-half years at the e-commerce giant, people aware of the developments told Moneycontrol.
Tiwary has decided to take up a new role at another company, they added.
He led the consumer business for Amazon in India including seller services and focused on transforming the way India buys and sells online. Tiwary had joined Amazon India in 2016 after spending years at retailer Unilever.
Amazon confirmed the developments to Moneycontrol but did not shed light on what's next for Tiwary.
"Manish Tiwary, Country Manager for Amazon India, has decided to pursue an opportunity outside of the company. Manish’s leadership over the last eight years has been instrumental in delivering for customers and sellers, making Amazon.in the preferred marketplace in India," a company spokesperson said.
He will continue with Amazon until October to help ensure a smooth transition.
"India is an important priority for Amazon. We are excited by the momentum and business results we have already achieved, and we are even more optimistic about the significant opportunities ahead to innovate on behalf of our customers and digitally transform lives and livelihoods. Amit Agarwal, SVP India and Emerging Markets, will remain closely involved with the Amazon.in team, guiding its strong bench of leaders to deliver on this opportunity," the spokesperson added.
