The move gives eligible employees a choice to leave, but does not mean all 60,000 will lose their jobs. The number of Indian employees eligible for the offer, and how many may accept it, remain unclear.
The development comes as Microsoft and other technology companies pour billions of dollars into AI infrastructure, cloud computing and automation. Investors are increasingly looking for returns on these investments, prompting companies to reassess costs and staffing requirements.
Microsoft’s reported move reflects a wider shift across the technology industry, where rapid AI expansion is changing business priorities and workforce planning. Whether the voluntary offer leads to further restructuring remains to be seen.
