Amazon India likely to axe jobs amid global layoffs

Amazon is likely to undertake a layoff exercise in India that could potentially impact at least a few hundred jobs across divisions as part of a global plan to deal with slowing sales, multiple people aware of the matter said.

The Jeff Bezos-founded tech major – which operates various businesses in India including ecommerce, data centre under Amazon Web Services, and Prime Video – is expected to let go 10,000 corporate and technology employees, as reported by global media on Monday.
