After food delivery and education, Amazon to shut distribution services in India

Tech and e-commerce giant Amazon has decided to shut its distribution services in India after closing its food delivery and education service

"This step was taken in light of the economic slowdown, the company will focus more on core businesses now on."

Amazon Distribution operates mainly in Bengaluru, Hubli, and Mysore and employs roughly 50 people. The distribution unit sources fast moving consumer goods from companies and distributes them to retailers.

The tech behemoth also pulled the plug on its ed-tech service, Amazon Academy, last week. Amazon Academy was launched by the company during the COVID-19 lockdown

The company was summoned by the Labor Ministry last week for a hearing regarding its voluntary separation program, under which Indian employees were urged to exit the company in lieu of certain monetary benefits.

In the hearing, the company claimed that the exits by employees were voluntary and that no undue pressure was put on employees to resign.
