Google is reportedly preparing for another round of layoffs, particularly affecting its advertising, sales, and marketing teams in India. According to a report from Business Standard, this restructuring may impact the company's offices in Hyderabad and Bengaluru as part of a larger global workforce reduction.

While Google has not confirmed the specific number of job cuts, it is believed that employees in advertising, sales, and marketing roles could be among those affected. This news follows Google's recent workforce reductions in its Platforms and Devices division, which oversees Android, Pixel smartphones, and the Chrome browser.

These layoffs are part of Google's broader initiative to streamline operations and reduce costs. Earlier this year, the company merged its Platforms and Devices teams, which led to voluntary exit programs and job cuts. A spokesperson for Google mentioned that the goal is to become "more nimble and operate more effectively."

As Google moves forward with its restructuring, employees in India may experience uncertainty in the upcoming weeks. So far this year, over 23,500 tech employees have been laid off across 93 companies, according to Layoffs, a platform that monitors job cuts in the sector. The latest reports of layoffs from Google and Microsoft indicate that both companies are planning further cuts as part of their efforts to improve workforce efficiency, driven by AI-led restructuring
