Amazon today provided more details about its "Voluntary Separation Program" to the Labour Ministry. Last week, the tech giant informed the government that it has not fired any employees, but some have left under the "Voluntary Separation Program".
Amazon will be shutting down three of its businesses in India to thrive amid the ongoing economic slowdown. The company will be discontinuing its wholesale distribution channel, food delivery service and ed-tech venture.
Amazon India shut down its food delivery and ed-tech verticals last week. The company will now focus on its core business.
Responding to Business Today’s queries about shutting down of it's ed-tech, food delivery, and wholesale distribution network, an Amazon spokesperson said, “We remain committed to India and will continue to invest across those areas where we can bring value to our customers.”
Amazon told the Labour Ministry that some of the resignations were part Voluntary Separation Policy and no undue pressure is being put on employees.
