The eligibility criteria include minimum educational qualification of 12th standard & proficiency in Kannada, Telegu, Tamil, Hindi, and English.
Amazon India has reportedly stated that some candidates are likely to be offered permanent positions based on their business needs and performance towards the end of 2020.
According to Akshay Prabhu, Director of Customer Service at Amazon, the company is currently evaluating the needs across customer service organization to efficiently respond to the rising demand from customers.
