New Delhi: India is the second-largest technology hub for Amazon globally and its teams are powering innovations not only for customers in the country but globally as well, a top company executive said on Thursday.
Speaking at Amazon India Career Day, Amit Agarwal, Amazon Global senior vice-president and country head India, said "the e-commerce company employs over one lakh professionals in India across diverse areas from engineering, supply chain, content creation, marketing, video and others. India is also the second-largest technology hub for Amazon globally, with some of the most talented software developers, product managers, machine learning scientists, and research scientists as part of the team."
The teams are powering innovations not only for India, but also for customers globally, building services that practically touch every aspect of the customer journey with Amazon, he added. Agarwal cited the example of its team in Bengaluru that has built a cloud-based warehouse management system to help sellers streamline their warehouse operations, and ship orders to customers fast and reliably. "While this service launched in India first, it is now being used by selling partners worldwide to serve millions of customers.
Another team developed vision-based information extraction capability used to automate identity verification, helping streamline the new seller onboarding experience worldwide," he added.
