Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images Ride-hailing giant Uber announced that it would cut 600 jobs in India as part of its plans to scale down its workforce, close multiple offices, and survive the downturn. "The impact of Covid-19 and the unpredictable nature of the recovery has left Uber India SA with no choice but to reduce the size of its workforce," Uber India and South Asia President Pradeep Parameswaran told Reuters. India's countrywide lockdown to contain the spread of the coronavirus has hit both Uber and its South Asia ride-hailing competitor Ola hard.
