Some 21 odd years ago, Amit Agarwal, an IIT Kanpur and a Stanford graduate, joined Amazon as a software developer and the rest, as they say, is history. Not only did Agarwal play a pivotal role in bringing the company’s vision and mission to life, he is also the man behind Amazon’s success as an Indian e-commerce giant, despite the cut throat competition.When Agarwal joined Amazon in Seattle, the company was only publishing books. He steadily rose in terms of ranks and became the youngest member in the senior leadership team of chief executive officer and president Jeff Bezos. After moving to India in 2004, Agarwal oversaw the company’s expansion in India.
On 1st March, Agarwal, who is serving as the Senior Vice President and Country Manager of Amazon India, completed 21 years in the company. He took to Twitter to share his excitement.
The tech mogul shared a picture of a storybox, which was gifted to him by his team. The 45-year-old wrote, ‘it still feels like day 1’ as he got nostalgic.
Completed 21 yrs at Amazon today, still feels like Day 1. My team gifted me my own Story box
