Microsoft closed its doors in Pakistan after 25 years operating there

Tech giant Microsoft is going to say farewell to Pakistan. The office of the company in Pakistan was established 25 years ago, which is going to be closed by the company forever. There is news regarding Microsoft that it is going to terminate 9000 jobs from around the world. In this sequence, the company is most likely going to close its office in Pakistan.

Microsoft CEO in Pakistan, Javvad Rehman, also shared details regarding the closure of Microsoft's business in the country in a LinkedIn update. Meanwhile, ex-President Arif Alvi termed it a sign of economic downfall and stated that it is concerning for the future of the economy of country.

According to the report of The Register.com, regarding closing its operation in Pakistan, a Microsoft spokesperson said that we are planning to change our operating model. The company says that this will not affect our customer agreement and service in Pakistan.

We will continue to offer service to Pakistani customers from our nearest Microsoft office. The company says that we are working on the same model in other countries around the world. Offering the best service to customers has always been Microsoft's top priority.

Experts believe that due to Pakistan's unstable political situation and economic uncertainty, it is almost impossible for multinational companies to work there. Microsoft is also facing these challenges. Along with this, the company is turning towards AI, due to which it is closing its business from Pakistan.

A few days ago, Microsoft had said that it is planning to reduce its global workforce by 4 percent. The company is going to lay off about 9000 employees. The company has also started sending notices regarding layoffs.

According to reports, the company is preparing to invest in AI, due to which this exercise is being done. Earlier, the company had laid off about 6000 employees in the month of May. The company says that its work will not be affected by these layoffs.
