Prime Video has confirmed that Aparna Purohit, Head of Originals for India and Southeast Asia, has left the Amazon streamer.
Purohit first joined Amazon in January 2016 and is now set to join Aamir Khan Productions as CEO, according to local reports. We’ve reached out to her and Bollywood star Aamir Khan’s reps for confirmation.
Local reports are heavily linking Nikhil Madhok, Head of Original Hindi Content, as her replacement. A successor could still come from outside the business, however.

She’s championed authentic, rooted and diverse narratives that made Prime Video’s local Original content resonate with audiences.

Exclusive: Amazon Prime Video Southeast Asia is cutting its originals team in Singapore and moving to a “leaner operating model,” as part of the global wave of redundancies announced earlier this week.
Deadline has seen an internal note from Prime Video’s VP, Asia Pacific, Gaurav Gandhi (see below), which confirms the streamer is “decreasing investments in Southeast Asia (Sea) and moving to a leaner local operating model to support the Sea territories.”
In effect, this means an exit from the local originals game and a major reduction in headcount at the Singapore office, with almost all staff from this side of the business to exit. We understand programs and films from the region set to launch for this year and 2025 or in production are unaffected. They will continue to filter through, but no new originals are coming.

Hindi-language “Maja Ma,” starring Bollywood icon Madhuri Dixit Nene, is the first of many Indian original films from Amazon Prime Video, Aparna Purohit, the head of India originals for the streamer, has revealed.
The film is a Prime Video commission, as opposed to an acquisition. “We have been acquiring films, we have been putting films straight on our service and over the last two years, we put almost 60 films out and we also bought into co-productions.

Exclusive: Amazon Prime Video India bosses Aparna Purohit and Gaurav Gandhi have outlined their strategy for super-serving the country’s diverse audiences, and revealed a plan to push into true crime and investigative doc series.
In their first interview since unveiling a 40-strong slate of original films and TV shows in April, the pair said constantly engaging with the “well developed creative ecosystems” in India’s various language segments, which include Hindi and Tamil, has been key to the Amazon Prime Video’s local impact since launching there more than five years ago.
In practice, Country Head Gandhi said this involved considerable research and insight gathering to assess what original films and shows could cut through locally and then assessing how that could transcend cultural barriers.
“Each segment is looked at in isolation first to see if we can super-serve an audience — maybe young adults or women, for example,” he said.
