Last month, the Indian tech multinational was in the news for laying off over 300 employees as part of its budget-cutting exercise. No official or public announcement had been made about these layoffs, but Money Control reported that employees working on Microsoft projects in India, Philippines and Guatemala had been impacted the most.
The laid off staff were involved in projects that monitored, curated and edited content for Microsoft’s news platform, MSN, from India, Europe, the US as well as other parts of the world.
