American tech major Oracle Corporation has laid off around 10% of its employees in India and left thousands of professionals jobless overnight. While the company described the move as part of a “restructuring exercise” media reports link it to shifting U.S. policies under President Donald Trump like curbs on offshoring and reduced dependence on H-1B visas. Oracle Layoffs In India  According to Data Centre Dynamics Oracle’s India operations have been hit the hardest as layoffs continue in other geographies. Teams working on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) in the U.S. are still receiving layoff notices while employees in Canada and Mexico have also been impacted. As of 2024 Oracle employed around 28824 people in India. The country has been a critical hub for software development cloud services and technical support. It also has a presence in major metros like Bengaluru Hyderabad Chennai Mumbai Pune Noida and Kolkata and also in Tier-II and Tier-III cities like Chandigarh Lucknow Jaipur Bhopal and Thiruvananthapuram.  Oracle Global Layoffs  In the U.S. Oracle is eliminating more than 150 positions in Seattle majorly within its cloud infrastructure division. According to media reports the company is still hiring for select roles focusing on specific teams. The cuts are linked to performance reviews and many believe they are also influenced by geopolitical factors and pressure to localise operations in key markets. The announcement has just been made days after Oracle CEO Larry Wilson met U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on August 7. Oracle had also revealed a major deal with OpenAI to host massive volumes of its data on Oracle’s cloud along with a hiring push at its Virginia office in the U.S. In Mexico too employees have received layoff notices and staff in other countries have been called for undisclosed meetings indicating more global job cuts could follow.
