Bengaluru, Aug 26 (IANS) Amazon India on Monday announced the launch of a military veterans employment programme that will create opportunities for military veterans and their spouses across Amazon India's fulfillment, sort and delivery centres in the country.
Amazon India is partnering with the office of the Director General of Resettlement (DGR) and the Army Welfare Placement Organisation (AWPO) to create continued work opportunities for military families across the country.
"Amazon is committed to diverse and inclusive hiring, creating opportunities for all individuals to realise their potential. Over the years, Amazon India has hired military veterans in various roles across the company.
