Meta India has laid off nearly a dozen employees, primarily in ad sales and marketing roles, as part of a broader global restructuring effort that has seen the company cut around 8,000 jobs, or 10% of its total workforce. Sources indicate that the impacted employees were notified via cold emails and offered severance packages ranging from four to six months of salary. This restructuring is part of Meta's strategy to build a more agile organization, with Chief People Officer Janelle Gale emphasizing the need for smaller teams that can adapt quickly in the evolving AI landscape. The layoffs come alongside a significant increase in the company's commitment to AI spending, with a forecasted capital expenditure of $125-$145 billion by 2026, marking an 87% increase year-on-year. CEO Mark Zuckerberg has stated that the success of the company hinges on its ability to lead in AI technology, underscoring the importance of these changes.
