Amazon is moving forward with a new series of job cuts affecting its global workforce, including operations in India. The layoffs are concentrated in specific business units, namely customer service, selling partner services, and marketplace support. These reductions come as the company continues to restructure its internal teams across multiple international markets, including the United States and the United Kingdom.

The timing of these cuts in India is notable, as they coincide with the company’s 'Great Indian Festival' sale, one of its busiest and most significant retail events of the year. While the company has not disclosed the exact number of employees affected by this specific round of layoffs, the move reflects a broader ongoing effort by Amazon to streamline operations and reduce costs in its support and marketplace divisions. The company has maintained that these decisions are part of its regular organizational planning to ensure resources are aligned with long-term business priorities.
