Tiwary leads the consumer business for Amazon in India, including seller services, and focuses on transforming the way India buys and sells online.

Tiwary joined Amazon India in 2016. Before Amazon, he spent over two decades in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) business across various categories and channels in India, the Gulf and North Africa.

Amazon confirmed the development but did not reveal anything about Tiwary’s next move or the reason for him to leave the firm.

“Manish Tiwary, country manager for Amazon India, has decided to pursue an opportunity outside of the company. Manish’s leadership over the last eight years has been instrumental in delivering for customers and sellers, making Amazon.in the preferred marketplace in India,” said an Amazon spokesperson.

Tiwary will continue with Amazon until October to help ensure a smooth transition. The company said Amit Agarwal, SVP India and Emerging Markets, will remain closely involved with the Amazon India team, guiding its strong bench of leaders to deliver on this opportunity.

"India is an important priority for Amazon. We are excited by the momentum and business results we have already achieved,” said the Amazon spokesperson. “We are even more optimistic about the significant opportunities ahead to innovate on behalf of our customers and digitally transform lives and livelihoods.
