Oracle India is in news as the company appears to have begun a fresh round of layoffs which will be affecting over 100 employees across multiple teams including the cloud services.
Oracle India Layoffs Affecting Hundreds of Employees
This latest move seems to be a part of a global restructuring move by the US-headquartered tech giant, which retrenched more than 3,000 employees worldwide last week.
These layoffs come at a time when the company continues to expand its artificial intelligence initiatives and streamline costs.
This is basically highlighting the deep changes underway in the global technology industry.
The people who are known to this matter believe that the downsizing in India is expected to affect several hundred workers.
“Because of these changes, the decision has been taken to streamline the operations, and as a result, the position you currently hold will become redundant,” as mentioned in the Oracle’s letter to staff as per the reports.
Oracle Repositioning Operations Around AI-driven Efficiencies
While doing this, the IT service provider has promised severance benefits, including 15 days’ salary for every year of completed service and medical insurance cover for up to a year.
While some employees were offered garden leave, others described sudden exits, with even long-serving staff of 15–20 years impacted.
So far, Oracle India remains a major hub for the company while employing nearly 30,000 people here.
The company’s Indian arm reported revenue of ₹20,459 crore in FY24 which is up by 20% from the previous year.
Although it represents robust growth, but this retrenchment reflects companies’ move in repositioning operations around AI-driven efficiencies.
On Oracle’s part it’s peers like Microsoft, Meta, and Salesforce are also trimming their headcount.
It appears that 205,000 jobs could be cut globally in 2025, including 140,000 in the tech sector alone as per industry tracker Trueup.io estimation.
When it comes to Oracle, its Indian arm layoffs mark a turning point as the company reshapes its operations in line with AI-driven strategies.
Despite the rise in revenues, the move highlights how the global tech sector is under pressure to boost productivity, protect margins, and prepare for a future where automation and artificial intelligence reshape core business models.
