Tech giant Google is reportedly planning to lay off a portion of its engineering staff in India, particularly from its Hyderabad and Bengaluru offices, according to a report by Business Standard dated April 15. Sources familiar with the matter stated that the company may also reassign some employees to higher revenue-generating projects as part of its global restructuring efforts.
In addition to engineering roles, Google’s teams in advertising, sales, and marketing in India are also expected to see reductions. However, the company has not officially confirmed any layoffs in its Indian offices or disclosed the number of employees affected.
Earlier, on April 10, Google had laid off hundreds of employees from its platforms and devices division — the team responsible for Android, Pixel devices, and the Chrome browser — as reported by The Information.
