The book also emphasized the way Jassy embodies almost everything about Bezos. Andy Jassy is known as the ‘Man of Mechanism’ who is capable to attend countless hours of meeting and digest massive amount of paperwork. He is also the man who posses an ‘inhuman levels of discipline’ while at work. These possessions are likely to serve him as the new leader of Amazon, one of the largest company across the world.

Before being the successor of Jeff  Bezos, he was playing an instrumental role as the CEO of Amazon Web Services (AWS). In the early 2000s, this arm of the company was almost the backbone of the business. Amazon Web Services facilitated the software cloud computing arm of the company. It brought Amazon, revenue and capital which was required to get involved in more investments, tie-ups and ventures. Amazon Web Services acted as a secret weapon of the company as numbers were not disclosed in the public till the year 2015.

In India, Amazon arrived with the purpose to sell books, TV shows, films, camera, and mobile phones. Later, it changed its course while competing with e-commerce giant FlipKart. Along with dealing with the native giants and the guidelines and regular revisions laid down by the Indian Government on foreign direct investment, things turned to be difficult for the company to run in India. Thereby, Jassy’s responsibility not only lies in expanding and keeping the business thriving in the Indian Market but also in developing an healthy relationship with the Indian government, as reported by moneycontrol.

As far as reports are concerned, Jeff Bezos at the moment is concentrating on other endeavours like flying to space via his aerospace company, ‘Blue Origin’. He is also aiming to invest more effort in his other projects like ‘Washington Post’ his media organization and his charity foundation, the ‘Bezos Day One Fund’ and ‘Bezos Earth Fund’.
