people from India
Korean giant Samsung has decided to cut the number of
employees in India by up to 1,000. Samsung has already been forced to cut the
price of smartphones and televisions.
The impact of a strong challenge from the Chinese mobile
handset companies in India is also being seen on other companies. Korean giant
Samsung has decided to cut the number of employees in India by up to 1,000.
Samsung has already been forced to cut the cost of smartphones and televisions
in order to save its margins and profits.
According to the news published in the Economic Times, three
senior officials have given this information. According to him, the country's
largest consumer electronics and mobile phone maker Samsung has been doing all
this under a plan to rationalize its cost. He told that Samsung has so far
removed 150 employees from its telecom division and this process will be
completed by October.
The Samsung India spokesperson has said that the company is
committed to Indian business and will make good investments in all businesses.
The world's largest mobile phone factory is being set up here and investing in
new businesses such as 5G networks. He said that as the company progresses, its
effort will be to generate more employment.
20 thousand employees in India
According to an estimate, there are about 20,000 employees
in Samsung units in India. According to the newspaper, all Samsung Head of Business
has handed over the list of those who performed poorly to Indian Operations
President. In the case of many businesses, 10 percent of the total team
strength is coming down.
Rationalizing the number of employees, ie, this drill will
include sales, marketing, R & D, manufacturing, finance, HR, corporate
relations etc. This whole exercise is being done in the direction of Samsung's
headquarters located in Seoul, whose emphasis is on improving profits rather
than revenues in India. Records from Samsung India have been closed since
April. After the festive season i.e. Dussehra-Diwali sale, the situation will
be reviewed once more.
The problem started in Samsung India in 2017-18, when their
net profits saw decline. In India, Samsung's sales are being challenged by the
popularity of Chinese brands such as Chaomi and One Plus. Because of this, the
company has to cut prices of its phones and TVs by 25 to 40 per cent. In the
Indian smartphone market, Shawmy's share is 29%, Samsung's 23% and Vivo 12%.
