By signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) Amazon India entered into a partnership with the Directorate General Resettlement (DGR), to provide ex-service personnel with work opportunities across its growing operations network. With this partnership, Amazon India will continue to create fulfilling alternate career opportunities for ex-service personnel who have served the country. The MoU was signed between Liju Thomas, HR Director, Customer Fulfillment & Corporate, Amazon India Operations and Maj Gen MK Sagoch, Director General, DGR.
The association Amazon India with DGR will further enable it to mobilise the untapped potential of veterans, giving it access to a greater talent pipeline. Veterans will have access to various work opportunities including a mix of individual contribution and managerial roles across its Fulfilment Centres, Sort Centres, and Delivery Stations. This collaborative effort further expands Amazon India’s existing Military Veterans Employment program. Amazon already has several military veterans working across functions in its operations network in leadership and managerial roles.
