Nestle SA, on Monday, nominated former Amazon India head and Unilever executive as its candidate to head the food giant's Indian operation in a year's time. Nestle India said its Swiss parent had recommended that Manish Tiwary replace Suresh Narayanan when he retires as managing director next year.

Tiwary had resigned as the vice president and country manager for Amazon India. He quit the US ecommerce giant after serving for eight years. However, Tiwary has to continue with Amazon until October to help ensure a smooth transition.
