@arunsundaran
I lead global operations, risk, and compliance programs that improve trust, efficiency, and customer outcomes.
What I'm looking for
At Amazon, I lead fulfilment center operations, directing end-to-end inbound, stow, pick, pack, and outbound dispatch performance while developing teams of associates and managers.
I've led Customer Trust, Risk, and Compliance programs for seller onboarding, KYC, identity verification, video screening, and new country and product launches across 20+ internal teams. I built reporting and risk-governance mechanisms and led a scalable seller registration platform to improve seller experience and reduce dropout.
In Amazon India Payments, I managed a INR 7,000+ Cr annual revenue portfolio and drove fraud prevention, operational controls, compliance, vendor relationships, and payout systems. My cost-saving work delivered INR 300 MM in operational savings, reduced losses from INR 15 MM to INR 0.2 MM, and generated INR 3 MM in additional revenue.
Across Amazon, Ajio.com, Reliance B2B, AXA, and Healthscribe, I've built and scaled operations teams, improved catalog quality, managed vendors, and delivered measurable process improvements. I bring more than two decades of experience leading complex global operations with a focus on trust, quality, cost, and sustainable execution.
