On the 7th anniversary of the online portal, Global Senior V-P and Country Head of Amazon.in, Amit Agarwal, took to Twitter to share a throwback post.
Sharing a photograph from the early days of Amazon, the top boss couldn’t help but get a little nostalgic, as he took a walk down memory lane. Looking back on his journey, Agarwal said that he vividly remembers the day, and back then, their entire team could fit in one room.
Calling his journey ‘extraordinary’, the entrepreneur said, ‘even after 7 years, it still feels like Day 1.’
