Amazon starts a new round of layoffs that reduces roughly 1,000 jobs globally, with employees in India reportedly among those affected. Multiple outlets report the cuts involve Amazon’s Stores division, which runs parts of the company’s core e-commerce operations.
The layoffs are described as smaller than a prior restructuring that involved about 30,000 corporate positions. One outlet also places the latest round alongside the timing of Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days. Across coverage, the stated rationale centers on streamlining the organization and reducing bureaucracy, as leadership focuses on reshaping how teams are structured. Reports note that the affected roles span regions including the United States, India, and the UK, but specific figures for India are not consistently detailed across sources.
