Mumbai: Amazon India named Samir Kumar as the new India country manager, replacing Manish Tiwary who resigned as Amazon India head in August after an eighth stint. Kumar will assume the new role on October 1, 2024, while also discharging his current responsibilities as Amazon’s consumer business head across West Asia, South Africa, and Turkey markets.
Samir Kumar who joined Amazon in 1999 has extensive experience within the company. He was a key member of the team that launched Amazon.in in 2013.
“India remains an important priority for Amazon, and I am excited about the opportunity ahead as we continue to transform lives and livelihoods. With Samir’s extensive experience across emerging markets, I am even more optimistic about the future and our plans to deliver for both customers and the business in India,” commenting on the future of Amazon India, Amit Agarwal, Amazon’s senior vice-president for emerging markets said.
Agarwal praised Tiwary’s contributions, saying, “I am deeply appreciative of Manish’s leadership in steering Amazon.in to become the de facto starting point for Indians to buy and sell anything online. I wish him the best for his next chapter.”
