Vikas Purohit, the man heading Amazon India’s fashion and lifestyle category has quit.
"Vikas Purohit has moved on from Amazon.in for personal reasons," an Amazon spokesperson said in an email, responding to a query seeking confirmation about his resignation. "Vikas built a strong fashion business for Amazon.in from scratch. Since the launch of the fashion category in September 2013, the fashion store has emerged as one of the top three stores on Amazon.in, both in terms of volume and value."
Susan Saideman, vice president for global vendor management, will lead the fashion category in the interim "till we identify a new leader for the business", the spokesperson said.
