Summary

PayPal Holdings, Inc. has cut approximately 600 jobs in India, affecting nearly 10% of its local workforce across its Chennai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad centres. Impacted teams included technology, engineering, operations, payments and finance, with employees reportedly told of immediate dismissal via a sudden conference call and having internal access revoked. A PayPal spokesperson disputed larger figures, saying recent staffing adjustments directly affected 220 employees (around 4% of India teams), while another report suggested up to 1,500 roles could eventually be affected as part of ongoing shifts. The company says the reductions are part of a multi-year global transformation and efficiency plan that could reduce global headcount by up to 20% to deliver cost savings.
