Amazon India Head to Quit
Manish Tiwary, the country head of Amazon India, will leave the company in October after eight years of service. During his tenure, Tiwary contributed significantly to Amazon’s growth and success in the highly competitive e-commerce market in India.
Challenges in Indian Market
Amazon faces challenges in expanding its presence in smaller cities and towns in India due to strong competition from domestic players like Flipkart and Meesho. The company has also struggled to develop its logistics infrastructure, making it difficult to reach price-sensitive customers.
Shift in Focus
Amazon has shifted its focus to the cloud business in India, investing over $7 billion in the market. However, the company still faces challenges from quick-commerce companies like BlinkIt, Zepto, and Swiggy, which offer rapid deliveries in as little as 10 minutes.
