Thanks to the success that Amazon has tasted in India, founder & CEO "Please join me in welcoming Amit to S-team. Amit and our India team are doing remarkable things. Amit and his experience in India will be a key resource for all of us on S-team as we work to figure out what it is to be a true global company," Bezos said in a mail that he sent to some employees.
Amazon India confirmed the development, saying, "Agarwal's inclusion in Amazon's S-team is a recognition of how excited the Amazon leadership is with our progress and how committed we are in delivering on our ambition to transform how India buys and sells."
It was in Agarwal's leadership that Amazon was able to capture a significant market share in India's growing e-commerce market, and that too within less than three years of commencing operations in the country.
This success has also turned India into Amazon's second biggest investment market after the United States, and as per Amazon, India will overtake Japan, Germany and the UK to become its largest overseas market in the next few years.

The mail also said that Agarwal's participation in the S-team would "necessarily" mean that he attends call through teleconference, since his responsibilities in India will obviously keep him from travelling to the US again and again.
