Tech giant Google is learnt to have sacked around 450 employees across various departments in India. The employees were reportedly informed of their termination through mail late at night on Thursday.
The mail was sent by Sanjay Gupta, Country Head and Vice President of Google India, according to moneycontrol. It is not clear whether the 453 layoffs include the 12,000 job cuts announced by Google parent company Alphabet Inc. last month.
At the time, Sundar Pichai, who is CEO of Alphabet Inc., said the job cuts were made in a bid to act decisively as the company's growth slowed.
"If you don't act clearly and decisively and early, we can compound the problem and make it much worse. These are decisions I needed to make," Mr Pichai said, according to Bloomberg.
