Under investor pressure, Oracle may slash 30,000 jobs to bankroll AI infrastructure: Report | Technology News

Published by Parlour News

3 min readNew DelhiFeb 2, 2026 12:22 PM IST Oracle is facing increasing scrutiny from investors over how it plans to finance its AI infrastructure build-out, with one report suggesting that the cloud provider might consider mass layoffs as cost-cutting measures to support its data centre ambitions. One of the options on the table for the Larry Ellison-led company is a headcount reduction of between 20,000 and 30,000 to free up $8 billion to $10 billion in cash flow, according to a note by investment banking firm TD Cowen published last week. The note further estimated that Oracle might sell off assets such as health tech platform Cerner that was acquired by the company for $28.3 billion in 2022. While Oracle has not confirmed that it is conducting layoffs, it would not be the first tech giant to slash jobs in response to the mounting pressure to invest in AI. Big US firms such as Amazon, UPS, and Dow have announced an estimated total of 52,000 job cuts with experts noting that companies “appear eager …

Officials said the GST Council is the exclusive constitutional body under Article 279A empowered to recommend tax rates. It submitted that for the court to direct a rate reduction or compel the …

US and China slash tariffs

US and China slash tariffs

Published by Webster

The United States and China have mutually agreed to a 90 day reduction on tariffs implemented in April, marking a significant attempt to de-escalate the trade war between the world’s two largest economies. The deal was hashed out by US and Chinese officials in Geneva over the weekend, and will see the US reducing duties on Chinese imports from 145 percent to 30 percent, and China lowering tariffs on US goods to 10 percent, down from 125 percent. This new agreement doesn’t change the removal of the de minimis exception on May 2nd, which closed the tariff loophole that allowed businesses like Temu and Shein to import low-value goods into the US without paying any duties at all. “We concluded that we have a shared interest,” said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent at a news conference in Geneva. “We want more balanced trade, and I think both sides are committed to achieving that. Neither side wants a decoupling.” The 90-day pause is meant to provide the two countries time to negotiate a final trade deal. Disclaimer: …

Trump’s 2026 NASA budget would slash ISS crew and allocate more money for Elon

Published by Webster

The Trump administration has released a proposal to cut about a quarter of NASA’s 2026 budget, slashing both International Space Station crew sizes and the amount of research done there. At the same time, it sets up new funding that would likely benefit Elon Musk’s SpaceX by prioritizing human missions to Mars, and refocuses on “beating China back to the Moon.” The suggested cuts are part of President Trump’s budget proposal for next year. It would slash $508 million from the ISS, cutting its crew size and focusing its “reduced research capacity … on efforts critical to the Moon and Mars exploration programs.” It also cuts $2.265 billion from space science missions, and includes terminating things like the Mars Sample Return mission, the objectives of which it says would be achieved by human flights to the red planet. At the same time, the proposal offers $1 billion in spending on “Mars-focused programs,” with no specifics about where that money would go. As The New York Times writes, Musk’s SpaceX will “presumably” seek NASA funding to …

In a shocking incident of cruelty to animals, miscreants slashed the udders and stabbed the legs of three cows, which were resting by the street side at Pension Mohalla, Chamarajpet, here on Saturday night, leaving them writhing in pain in a pool of blood. The incident came to light on Sunday morning when passers-by found the cows moaning in pain and bleeding and alerted the owner, Karna, reportedly a Hindutva activist in the area. The incident soon took a political turn with several BJP leaders, including Leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Assembly R. Ashok, rushing to the spot and condemning the incident. Hundreds gathered in the area.

If the State government doesn’t apprehend the miscreants in two days, we will observe a ‘Black Sankranthi’ across the State,” Mr. Ashok said.
