Summary: Amazon plans major job cuts as AI drives efficiency; India to see up to 1,000 roles affected.

It’s a big shake-up at Amazon: the company is planning to eliminate around 14,000 corporate positions worldwide as part of a broader restructure tied to its increasing focus on artificial intelligence.

In India, the number of expected job cuts is approximately 800-1,000, making it one of the biggest reductions in Amazon’s India corporate operations.

The roles likely to be impacted span departments such as finance, marketing, human resources, and tech functions — particularly those teams that work closely with Amazon’s global operations.

The rationale? With increased automation and superior AI capabilities, Amazon executives believe the company can function with fewer levels, simpler management, and less bureaucracy, effectively moving resources to critical growth areas.

Employees in affected roles should expect change. And, while Amazon says it would help transitions when possible, the overall message is clear: the corporation is preparing for a leaner corporate future.
