Is Aparna Purohit stepping down as Head of India & SEA at Amazon Prime ?

Reports are swirling around the potential departure of Aparna Purohit from her position as Head of India & Southeast Asia Originals at Amazon Prime Video. While sources indicate that she has tendered her resignation, the exact reason behind her departure remains uncertain.

Speculation is mounting that Purohit may be stepping into a leadership role at Aamir Khan Productions, yet no official confirmation has been provided by either party. Adgully's attempts to clarify the situation with company officials have yielded no statements from either Amazon or Purohit herself.

Purohit's journey with Amazon Prime Video dates back to 2016 when she first joined as the Head of Creativity. Over the years, she climbed the ranks, eventually assuming key positions such as Head of India Originals in 2019 and later, the Head of India & SEA Originals at Prime Video and Amazon Productions in 2022. Prior to her tenure at Amazon, Purohit held roles at Cinestaan Film Company and Mumbai Mantra Media.

In 2022, Purohit made headlines when the Supreme Court granted her anticipatory bail amidst FIRs lodged over the web series "Tandav". As the uncertainty surrounding her future at Amazon continues, industry observers eagerly await further developments.
