According to a top business official, India is Amazon's second-largest technological base internationally, and its workers are generating innovations not only for consumers in the country but also globally. Amit Agarwal, Amazon Global Senior Vice President, and Country Head India stated the e-commerce firm employs over one lakh people in India across a variety of fields, including engineering, supply chain, content development, marketing, video, and others, during the Amazon India Career Day.

"India is also Amazon's second-largest technological cluster in the world, with some of the best software engineers, product managers, machine learning scientists, and research scientists on staff," he said.

The teams are driving breakthroughs not only for India but for consumers all around the world, he said, by creating services that literally touch every element of the Amazon customer journey.

Agarwal noted the work of its Bengaluru team, which developed a cloud-based warehouse management system to assist sellers in streamlining their warehouse operations and shipping orders to consumers quickly and reliably.

"Although this service began in India, it is today used by selling partners all over the world to serve millions of clients. Another team created a vision-based information extraction capability that was utilised to automate identification verification, which aided in the global onboarding of new sellers "Added he.

In 2003, the business established a Development Center in Bengaluru.

AWS India teams are working on the AWS Quantum Computing Applications Lab in collaboration with the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, according to the executive.

"Amazon has also contributed to the strengthening of India's societal infrastructure through technology." Alexa, for example, is spouting classrooms in a rural village in central India, allowing kids to interact with Alexa in Hindi while also improving their arithmetic, science, English, and general knowledge.

"What truly pushes us across all of these advances is our unique working culture," he continued.

This year, Amazon plans to recruit around 8,000 individuals in 35 cities throughout India. In locations like as Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Gurgaon, Mumbai, and Noida, among others, these job vacancies are distributed across corporate, technology, customer service, and operations jobs.

According to Agarwal, the firm thinks that creating a "welcoming and inclusive" atmosphere is critical to diversity, and it has a number of efforts in place to recruit the finest builders available.

"Whether it's via our reignite programme, employing women who have taken a professional hiatus, being inclusive of the LGBTQ community, enticing military veterans, or concentrating our efforts on PWD applicants."

"We desire varied representation… We are dedicated to providing a safer, more productive, high-performing, diverse, and inclusive work environment in which builders may grow and achieve personal achievement," he added. He went on to say that Amazon's worldwide reach and local momentum in recent years have uniquely positioned it to play a key role in India's development.

"At the same time, I am confident that our local innovations will shape the experience for our next 500 million global customers. With Amazon India, I believe we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to unlock India's potential in the twenty-first century, transform daily lives and livelihoods, and leave a lasting legacy," he said.

The first Amazon India Career Day brought together Amazon executives and employees to discuss what makes Amazon such an exciting place to work.

Amazon has also created 'Virtual Recruiter,' an Alexa skill that allows prospective candidates to get information about the firm using voice commands.

The newly released skill will make it simple for applicants interested in working for Amazon to learn more about the company's interview process, rules, as well as tailored guides and training materials that will help them better prepare for their interview.

Candidates may use the skill to obtain learning feeds, access training materials, watch videos, and receive periodic updates on all Alexa-enabled devices, the Alexa app, and the Amazon shopping app (Android only).

Users can also elect to get more information on their inquiries or follow-up information through email using the Alexa skill.
