Citi Executive Sees India as Key Driver Amid Layoffs, Technological Advancements, and Global Supply Chain Shifts
Citigroup's Global Job Cuts Unlikely to Affect India Workforce
MUMBAI: Citigroup, a leading global financial institution, has announced plans to eliminate approximately 20,000 jobs worldwide by 2026. However, a senior executive from the company has assured that this restructuring effort will not significantly impact the bank's India-based workforce.
The decision to downsize was made under the leadership of Jane Fraser, who took over as chief executive in 2021. Since then, Citigroup has been focused on streamlining its operations to enhance efficiency and profitability. As part of this effort, the bank has sold retail businesses in over a dozen markets, aiming to optimize its global presence.
| Year | Number of Retail Businesses Sold |
|---|---|
| 2021 | 1 |
| 2022 | 3 |
| 2023 | 5 |
| 2024 | 2 |
| 2025 | Pending |
| 2026 | Pending |
