Overview
- Multiple outlets report that Oppo has begun merging Realme’s India operations, focusing on consolidating backend functions such as sales support and service.
- Sales and support roles are the first to be affected, with employees told to resign or realign by April 30, according to Moneycontrol reporting cited across Indian media.
- India Today Tech says it independently verified instructions for sales support and service network staff to step down by the April 30 deadline.
- China operations have already been integrated, while sources say the India rollout is moving more cautiously due to legal and regulatory considerations.
- On February 10, Realme confirmed layoffs but said they stem from an internal restructuring exercise and not from the Oppo reintegration, without disclosing headcount.
