EMPATHETIC LEADER Deepti Varma, Vice President, HR/People experience and Technology, Amazon Stores India & Emerging Markets
IN 2011, WHEN Deepti Varma started her journey with Amazon India, it was a time when the American giant was yet to etch its name firmly in the Indian market. Despite her senior role at a private healthcare firm, Varma was drawn to Amazon by the company’s values, particularly its ethos of empowering innovation regardless of geography.
Reflecting on her decision, she fondly recalls, “The mindset of the owner— giving you the freedom to operate, irrespective of the geography... those are some of the qualities that I felt unique.”
Since then, Varma’s trajectory within Amazon has been remarkable. Initially managing technology teams, she now serves as the Vice President of Human Resources, overseeing corporate and Amazon Stores across APAC,
Japan, Middle East, Africa, and the Emerging Markets. Simultaneously, Amazon itself has evolved into a colossal entity spanning e-commerce, media, entertainment, and cloud computing. From humble beginnings occupying just one floor, Amazon in India now commands millions of square feet across hundreds of locations and boasts a workforce exceeding 100,000 employees.
