  "account": "Uber is set to lay off 200-250 employees in India as part of a larger global restructuring effort that will eliminate about 3,300 roles worldwide. This comes just six months after the company cut around 80 jobs in India. The round of layoffs is expected to primarily affect the technology and operations teams, with the AI solutions team being reduced by half. Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi explained that the company became increasingly complex following years of rapid expansion, leading to additional layers of management and slower decision-making. The company plans to reduce the number of employees several organizational layers below the CEO by around 20%, as well as nearly halve the number of \"micro-teams\" with only one or two direct reports. Additionally, Uber aims to merge its separate delivery operations teams and bring together its core services engineering and science teams. The restructuring is expected to generate savings that will be redirected towards growth, innovation, and capabilities important for Uber's future. The company plans to invest over $10 billion in autonomous vehicle technology over the next few years as robotaxis could reshape the traditional ride-hailing model. Uber India's net loss nearly tripled to ₹1,511 crore in FY25 from ₹89 crore in FY24, while its gross revenue remained largely flat. The layoffs come amid a period of strong performance for Uber, with its top line tripling over the past five years.",
