Citi to cut about 100 jobs in India

Citigroup Inc. will cut about 100 jobs in India while reiterating that the country remained among its highest priority markets.

The third-largest U.S. bank by assets has been expanding rapidly in India. It did not give a reason for the cuts, but a source with direct knowledge of the matter said it was part of CEO Vikram Pandit's plan to slash 4,500 jobs worldwide, reports Reuters.

Citigroup hired more than 1,500 staff in India in 2011, the bank said in a short statement announcing the layoffs.

Citi, one of the top three foreign banks in India along with Standard Chartered and HSBC, has about 7,000 staff in the country and operates across several businesses including corporate, consumer, investment banking and wealth management.

The headcount reduction will be across all of the bank's businesses, but is not likely to include managing director level executives, the source said.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
