Amazon’s Amandeep Lohan is now Appario Retail’s MD & CEO

Amandeep Lohan, most recently a category leader at Amazon India, has been appointed the managing director of Appario Retail for a period of five years effective August 2.

The move comes amid Amazon’s announcement that it would cease from May next year its Cloudtail joint venture with NR Narayana Murthy’s Catamaran, amid increased regulatory scrutiny.

Appario Retail, its joint venture with the Patni Group, will exist for now.
