BENGALURU: Cisco<\/a> Systems is laying off about 14,000 employees, technology news site CRN reported on Tuesday, citing sources close to the company. That's nearly 20% of the networking major's global workforce, the single largest layoff in its 32-year history.

The company said it does not comment on rumour or speculation. Some analysts say the number may not be that high. But whatever be the final number, the company's India operations, particularly the R&D establishment, is expected to be significantly impacted, given that it's one of Cisco's largest global setups.

The India R&D centre, with 7,000 engineers, is the biggest outside Cisco's San Jose facility, which has about 12,500 engineers. Overall, India accounts for 11,000, or 15%, of the total global employee strength of 73,000.

The $49-billion company is moving from a hardware to a subscription software-based model, and so has to refresh its engineering talent base. India will inevitably be part of this change, said several analysts, most of who requested that their names not be disclosed. \"The DNA is still of physical routers and switches. So it will have to let go of some of those people and bring in fresh talent with expertise in cloud and subscription software,\" an industry<\/a> source said.

Vishal Tripathi, research director in Gartner, noted that companies like Cisco are increasingly focusing on a software-defined business and making big strides in the cloud ecosystem. \"Though hardware is an integral part of the business, Cisco hopes to have an edge in the software space,\" he said.

The India R&D centre, founded in 2007 and called the Globalization Centre East<\/a> -- Cisco even calls it its second global headquarters -- has done some successful developments and global implementations under its Smart+Connected Communities initiative under which it transforms physical communities into connected communities with the objective of realizing sustainable economic growth and enhanced quality of life.

But some of its work for India, related to remote education and healthcare, are yet to scale. \"Already some senior people have left. Under Chuck Robbins (who took over as CEO from John Chambers mid last year), there's been a greater focus on profitability than on growth. So there are fewer new projects, new initiatives, and it becomes monotonous for senior leaders,\" a source said.

A segment that will perhaps not be impacted is India sales. The country is one of the fastest growing markets for Cisco, and has been mentioned for its performance in earnings calls in each of the past eight quarters. In the first three quarters of this fiscal, the India growth was 40%, 23% and 18% respectively. \"Robbins is tightening the sales side globally, reducing the number of people who benefit from sales commissions. But India may actually need to increase the sales strength,\" an analyst said.

班加罗尔:思科系统是裁减约14000名员工,技术新闻网站CRN周二报道,援引接近该公司的消息人士。乐动扑克这是网络主要全球员工总数的近20%,最大的裁员在其32年的历史。

该公司表示,不就谣言和臆测置评。一些分析师表示,人数可能并不高。但无论最终的数量,该公司的印度业务,尤其是研发机构,预计将显著影响,因为思科最大的全局设置。

印度研发中心,7000名工程师,是最大的思科的圣何塞设施外,大约有12500名工程师。总的来说,印度占11000,占总数的15%,73000年全球员工的力量。

490亿美元的公司从硬件到软件订阅模型,因此必须刷新工程人才基地。印度将不可避免地成为这一变化的一部分,一些分析师说,大多数人不会披露要求他们的名字。“DNA仍物理路由器和交换机。所以它将不得不放弃一些人,引进新的人才和专业知识在云订阅软件,”一个行业消息人士说。

Vishal Tripathi Gartner研究主任指出,思科等公司正越来越多地关注软件定义业务和云生态系统中大踏步前进。“虽然硬件业务不可或缺的一部分,思科希望在软件领域有优势,”他说。

印度研发中心,成立于2007年,被称为全球化中心东——思科甚至称之为第二次全球总部——做了一些成功的发展和在全球实现智能互联社区的倡议下它将物理社区转化为连接社区的目标实现可持续的经济增长和提高生活质量。

但一些印度工作,有关远程教育和医疗,尚未规模。“一些高级的人已经离开了。在查克•罗宾斯(接任首席执行官约翰•钱伯斯去年中期),有更大的关注盈利能力比增长。有更少的新项目、新举措,它变得单调的高级领导人,”一个消息来源人说道。

一段,也许并不会影响印度销售。国家为思科是增长最快的市场之一,并已提到的性能收益在过去八个季度。在这个财政的前三个季度,印度经济增长40%,分别为23%和18%。“罗宾斯是收紧全球销售方面,减少人的数量从销售佣金受益。但是印度实际上可能需要增加销售力量,”一位分析师说。
