Tech giant Amazon said that it has not laid off any employees, but some have left the company under a "Voluntary Disengagement Program", government sources told NDTV.

According to a NDTV report, a notice had been sent by the Union Labour Ministry to Amazon about its cutbacks in India announced last week, asking its representatives to attend a hearing on Wednesday.

After Amazon announced that it would let go of 10,000 employees globally, the company's Indian arm had sent out requests to employees to quit voluntarily.

More details awaited..
