About
Huawei, the Chinese telecom equipment giant, has significantly reduced its workforce in India, laying off thousands of employees over the past year. From a peak of approximately 6,000 employees, including about 4,000 at its Bengaluru R&D center and 2,000 in Gurugram, the company now retains only a few hundred staff. This drastic reduction, which accelerated around August 2022, represents a layoff of over 90% of its Indian workforce. The primary reason is Huawei's exclusion from new projects, including 5G trials, due to the Indian government's national security concerns, compounded by recent tax raids on its offices. The laid-off employees, many of whom were engineers working on 4G projects, received substantial severance packages, including a year's salary. Competitors like Bharti Airtel, Ericsson, and Nokia have since hired these skilled professionals to support their own 5G rollout efforts, turning Huawei's workforce cutback into a boon for its rivals in the telecom industry.
