Amazon India launches dedicated website to hire military veterans

CHENNAI: Amazon India on Wednesday said it is launching a dedicated Indian Military talent pool website. This website is created only for military veterans and transitioning service personnel who would like to explore opportunities with Amazon India.
Over the years Amazon India has hired military veterans into various roles across its businesses and globally it has a vision of hiring 25,000 military veterans by 2025.
"As a member of the military community, either as transitioning military personnel, veteran, reservist, or military spouse, one can have multiple opportunities to innovate and solve real-world, complex technical and business problems as they join Amazon India on this journey," the e-commerce major said in a statement.
Amazon India launched its Military Veterans Employment programme in 2019. The programme creates work opportunities for military veterans, and Amazon partnered with the office of the Director General of Resettlement (DGR), Indian Naval Placement Agency (INPA), Indian Air Force Placement Agency (IAFPA), and Army Welfare Placement Organisation (AWPO) to ensure continued work opportunities for military veterans.
