Amazon cuts 100 India jobs amid global layoffs
Amazon has laid off at least 100 employees in India as part of broader global job cuts, Inc42 reported. The reductions follow recent reports of workforce changes at the company.
The cuts come less than a month after Amazon India announced plans to invest $3 billion in its quick-commerce unit, Amazon Now, through 2030. That funding was positioned as a bid to scale the service and compete with established players in the space. Amazon India’s consolidated losses grew in FY26, even as revenue neared ₹40,000 crore, per Inc42’s financial tracker.
The layoffs occur as other companies in the sector have also made workforce adjustments. While Amazon’s quick-commerce push remains ambitious, the latest cuts may prompt questions about how the company balances its investments with operational priorities. Observers will watch whether the layoffs extend to other divisions or indicate shifts in strategy.
