    Nike India slashes 20% staff, downsizes operations
  • Nike has fired nearly 20% staff from its operations in India, and has asked many other employees to shift to its operations in Southeast Asia.

    The move comes as the sports brand is tackling rising losses and stiff competition from players such as Adidas.

    The downsizing is part of the company's restructuring plan that focuses on 12 cities to clock 80% growth by 2020.
