Overview

  • Roughly 2,900 to 3,000 roles were eliminated across hubs including Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Mumbai, Pune, Noida and Kolkata, based on an India workforce of about 28,824.
  • The layoffs are concentrated in software development, cloud services and customer support, according to industry reporting.
  • Oracle describes the action as a restructuring, consistent with a June filing that said it periodically adjusts its workforce for strategic changes.
  • Reports point to broader cuts beyond India, including more than 150 jobs in the Seattle-area cloud unit and 188 in California’s Bay Area.
  • The move follows an Oval Office meeting between CEO Larry Wilson and President Donald Trump and the announcement of an OpenAI deal to add about 4.5 gigawatts of Stargate data center capacity in the U.S., while affected staff report abrupt notices and unclear severance.
