I am pretty new to these email setup work, so unaware so several things. I have several questions:
1) I am using google apps for business email for my company, but I need bulk email service as well. As google does not allow that, solution is to setup my own mail server. So I want to know is it possible to use both my own mail server and google apps for business email, both for a single domain.
2) Amazon is providing me SES, should I use that for my smtp or some other?
3) Who will provide me MX records etc. for setting up my own mail server.
I am using AWS.

It is possible to have multiple hosts sending email on the behalf of your domain. You need to make sure you have accurate SPF records that include all the hosts that will send messages for your domain. You may also need to add DKIM records if you sign your messages.
Amazon's SES looks like any of the dozen vendors I've worked with for sending bulk mail. You don't want your own server for bulk mail. The services are very good at not triggering spam blocking software. Try doing it yourself and there will be a lot more blocked messages.
Whomever registered your domain name should provide complimentary DNS services.
