Oracle employees in India are reportedly preparing for a fresh round of layoffs, with 2,000–3,000 jobs expected to be affected. The cuts may come in early or mid-September as the company reduces payroll costs while investing heavily in artificial intelligence infrastructure. Oracle has not officially confirmed the reported workforce reduction.

Oracle could be on the verge of another round of workforce cuts in India, with employees bracing for job losses that could land anywhere between the beginning and middle of September, even as the technology giant works to trim payroll costs while continuing to pour billions of dollars into AI infrastructure.

September 1 had initially been flagged as the date to watch, but according to a Moneycontrol report, more recent discussions inside the company have pointed to September 15 as another possible date for the cuts. Oracle has not officially confirmed a company-wide layoff exercise on either date, though employees have reportedly been told to expect action around the start or middle of the month.

Oracle is expected to lay off roughly 2,000 to 3,000 employees in India. The global layoff number is reported to be at around 7,000-8,000 people. Oracle currently employs around 30,000 people in India, meaning the reported cuts would mark a significant reduction in the company's local workforce. This would follow an earlier round of layoffs that had already affected about 12,000 Oracle employees in the country, with thousands of jobs said to be at risk globally in the latest exercise as well.
