Samsung India Lays Off 80-100 Executives Amid Cost Pressures and Restructuring
Samsung India has initiated layoffs affecting 80-100 executives primarily in its television and home appliance businesses amid rising costs, weaker consumer demand, and restructuring efforts. The cuts span director-level officials, team leads, and branch managers, with up to 25% of the electronics sales and marketing workforce potentially impacted, including off-roll employees. The smartphone division remains unaffected for now, as the company anticipates a sales rebound during the festive season. Rising memory chip prices, a depreciated rupee, and higher raw material costs have pressured margins and sales.
