Samsung Electronics Cuts 80–100 TV and Home Appliance Executives in India

Samsung Electronics has initiated a workforce reduction in India focused on its TV and home appliance businesses, asking approximately 80 to 100 employees, including executive-level staff, to resign. The cuts are being implemented in phases across levels from director-level executives and team leaders to branch and regional managers; some employees were asked to leave immediately. Severance offered includes three months' salary plus one month's pay for each year of service. The company excluded its core smartphone division from this round ahead of Diwali, though observers expect further streamlining after the festival; drivers cited include surging memory semiconductor prices, a weakening rupee, rising raw material costs, and weaker smartphone sales in India.

Samsung Electronics cut 80 jobs affecting its TV and home appliance businesses (sales/management/executive-level) team.
