- Sridhar Vembu, who co-founded Zoho and serves as its Chief Scientist, encourages Indian expatriates to come back to India. He emphasized that the country provides increasing job possibilities while global trade conditions and tariff systems and visa regulations create worldwide trade uncertainty.
- Vembu explained that numerous foreign corporations establish Global Capability Centers in India as part of their business expansion strategy. He said, “There are great opportunities for professionals in India, and this will continue in the future. Our education system, infrastructure, and policies have strengthened our position.”
- Vembu proposed that Indian professionals should perform their work duties inside India while making tax payments instead of choosing to work overseas when asked about increased H1B visa costs and American tariffs that affect Indian imports.
No Plans for an IPO
Vembu confirmed that Zoho does not plan to execute a public offering at this time. The company developed an Enterprise Resource Planning system which helps local companies in India. According to Zoho CEO Shailesh Dave, the ERP system enables Indian businesses to maintain operations through a domestic solution instead of using international products.
Amazon Plans to Lay Off 14,000 Corporate Employees
Amazon prepares to conduct another major employee reduction which will affect multiple departments. The company plans to cut 14,000 corporate jobs, potentially starting next week. A similar reduction took place in October 2025. If the current layoffs proceed, the total number of job cuts at Amazon could reach 30,000, according to Reuters. This would mark the highest workforce reduction for the company in its three-decade existence.
Departments Affected
Sources say layoffs could affect employees in Amazon Web Services (AWS), retail operations, Prime Video, human resources (PXT), and other departments. After the October 2025 cuts, CEO Andy Jassy clarified that the layoffs were part of restructuring, not due to financial issues or AI implementation.
Impact on Workforce
Amazon employs about 350,000 corporate staff. Even after the proposed layoffs, job cuts would remain below 10% of this group. Considering Amazon’s total workforce of 1.58 million, fewer than 2% of employees will be affected.
