Honesty, integrity, discipline and dedication to duty are some of the qualities that military veterans bring to the corporate world. These are qualities that Amazon admires and nurtures among its pool of veteran," said a blogpost dated August 13 on Amazon India's website.
"We are very happy to build further on these efforts and partner with DGR and AWPO to help create hundreds of fulfilling and exciting career opportunities for our military families who have relentlessly served the country," said Akhil Saxena, Vice President Asia Operations, Amazon, in the statement.
