Layoffs and hiring in Hyderabad

Hyderabad is Microsoft’s largest engineering hub outside Redmond and a major site for Google, Oracle, PayPal, Qualcomm and a long list of GCCs in Gachibowli, Hitec City and Financial District.

Cuts in Hyderabad often hit support, delivery and shared-services teams first, then product engineering. Zomato’s 2026 decision to close Customer Delight in the city and fold remaining in-house support into Gurugram is the clearest example of a city-level shutdown rather than a 2% trim. PayPal’s confirmed India reduction also named Hyderabad alongside Chennai and Bengaluru. Oracle’s India footprint here is large, so any second-round report should be read against the earlier 2026 India wave, not in isolation. The city still attracts greenfield GCCs. Telangana markets Hyderabad as a lower-cost, large-campus alternative to Bengaluru. We track both sides: support-centre closures and new digital hubs. If you work in Hitec City, treat each row below as a sourced event, then open the article for what is confirmed versus what a reporter was told.

How this city page is built

An event appears here when its location or title contains Hyderabad (or a local alias such as Bangalore for Bengaluru). We do not allocate a share of a national total to this city unless the source does. Empty weeks mean we have no published, sourced row — not that employers are frozen.
