Amazon, a Seattle-based technology, e-commerce and cloud computing firm, has opened its second largest corporate office in Asia at Kattigenahalli on the outskirts of Bengaluru on Monday.
Built on around five acres of land, the campus will support over 7,000 employees across e-commerce, operations, payments, technology, and seller services across India, according to the firm.
David Zapolsky, senior vice-president, global affairs & legal officer, Amazon, said, the speed of technology adoption and the ambition around AI in India were unmatched by any other country in the world. “There’s a growth orientation here that is unmistakable, bold, forward-looking, and optimistic,” Mr. Zapolsky said.

Mr. Zapolsky also said, Amazon Now, the company’s quick commerce outlet, designed to meet the needs of customers in dense, fast-paced urban centers in India was now making its way across the Middle East, North America, Europe, and Latin America.
