Hyderabad: Amazon on Wednesday opened its largest company-owned campus in Hyderabad in India. The e-commerce firm will house more than 15,000 employees out of the over 62,000 members of the India team.
The move is part of Amazon’s expansion plans in India, where retail markets are still to a large extent driven by traditional neighbourhood stores.
“Over the last 15 years we have invested significantly in India across 30 office spaces, the AWS (Amazon Web Services) APAC (Asia Pacific) Region in Mumbai, 50 fulfilment centres in 13 states, as well as hundreds of delivery stations and sort centres, creating nearly 200,000 jobs in India,” said Amit Agarwal, senior vice-president and country manager, Amazon India.
