Amazon India’s Consumer Electronics Head Ranjit Babu Resigns

Amazon India’s consumer electronics head Ranjit Babu has reportedly resigned nearly three years of his stint with the company.

As per ET’s report, citing sources familiar with the matter, his resignation comes amid an ongoing restructuring in the ecommerce major.

Inc42 has reached out to Babu and Amazon India for comments on the development. The story will be updated based on the responses.

As per his LinkedIn profile, Babu has been serving as the director at Amazon India at various departments, including selling partner experience, wireless and home entertainment and consumer electronics for nearly three years, in Bengaluru. 

Earlier, he also worked with Amazon until July 2017, in various managerial roles and moved to work with online retail business Cloudtail India.

He headed Cloudtail India as its managing director and chief executive for about a year and has worked with the company until April 2022. His overall experience spans across 22 years in the retail industry.

This development comes months after Amazon’s head of India operations Manish Tiwary resigned after an over eight-year stint with the company.

Additionally, the global ecommerce giant is pumped to reaffirm its market position in the country amid the emerging competitors.

For instance, in the past week, Amazon India bought a 38.18-acre land parcel in Palava near Mumbai from Lodha Group, listed as Macrotech Developers, for more than INR 450 Cr to build a hyperscale date centre, as per reports.

Meanwhile, to make its mark in the quick commerce space, the company is set to launch Tez, by this month or early next year.

(The story will be updated soon.)
