Samsung India Lays Off 80-100 Executives Amid Rising Costs and Restructuring
Samsung India has initiated layoffs affecting 80-100 executives primarily in its television and home appliance divisions due to rising memory chip prices, weaker consumer demand, and increased costs. The cuts span various levels, including director-level officials and branch managers, with some employees asked to leave without notice. Up to 25% of the electronics sales and marketing workforce, including off-roll staff, may be impacted. The smartphone division remains unaffected for now, anticipating a sales rebound during the festive season. Severance packages include three months' salary plus an additional month's pay per year of service.
