India, Jan. 28 -- Amazon.com Inc. has announced layoffs affecting as many as 16,000 corporate jobs, amid "rising competition over AI".

"Some of you might ask if this is the beginning of a new rhythm-where we announce broad reductions every few months. That's not our plan," said Beth Galetti, senior vice president of people experience and technology at Amazon.

This is the second round of Amazon layoffs since 14,000 jobs were cut in October 2025.

This is a developing story. More to come.
