Oracle announced Monday that it will cut 1,000-1,500 mid‑ and senior‑level employees in India, targeting web development and maintenance teams.
The affected staff are concentrated in teams that build and support Oracle's cloud infrastructure and database products, according to an anonymous Oracle employee.
Oracle has not yet issued an official statement, and a follow‑up email to the company went unanswered as of the article's release.
India hosts a large portion of Oracle's software development workforce, but the company has kept the total number of employees in the country confidential.
Oracle is expected to provide a formal clarification on the layoffs in a press release later this week, as the company grapples with global cost‑cutting measures.
