Over 80,000 tech workers have been laid off across 176 companies in 2025 as firms pivot toward AI-driven operations. Microsoft has cut 15,000 jobs, while Intel plans to axe 24,000–25,000 amid heavy losses. TCS is laying off 12,000 mid-to-senior employees, citing the need to be "future-ready." Meta, Google, Amazon, HP, and Panasonic have also downsized, targeting underperformance and AI realignment. Leaders like Satya Nadella and Lip-Bu Tan describe the changes as strategic, not cyclical. With automation accelerating, tech firms are reshaping into leaner, AI-focused teams to survive rapid market shifts and declining traditional revenues. (PC: India Today)
