| HP India to cut 1,000 jobs? - Hewlett-Packard’s decision to eliminate nearly 25,000 of its 320,000 jobs worldwide is expected to have a significant impact on its Indian operations too. Analysts in India believe that in the short term, the company could see off some 1,000 people, and that in a three year period this could go up to 6,000 of its nearly 60,000 people in the country. The computer and printer maker’s job cuts come as part of its plan to integrate Electronic Data Systems (EDS), the computer services giant that HP acquired for $13.9 billion in August as part of an effort to match IBM in the services space. |
