OREANDA-NEWS.Samsung laid off more than 1,000 employees due to strong competition with Xiaomi in India. 
The publication clarified that the dismissal affected employees from different departments, including sales, marketing, manufacturing and others. 

In India, Samsung remains the second largest smartphone in sales with a market share of 15%, while Xiaomi is 43%. In this case we are talking about online sales. 

It is also reported that in this market, 40% of Samsung’s sales come from online channels. 

In turn, Samsung has already responded to the message in the media, noting that this information is misleading, but the company did not refute the dismissal. 

But it was noted that over the last year in the territory of India two thousand new jobs were created, and by the end of the year it is planned to create additional jobs.
