Chinese ride hailing company Didi Chuxing is reportedly planning to reduce its overall headcount by up to 20% prior to its plan to transfer its stock from the US to Hong Kong, according to a report from Bloomberg. The report said most of Didi's core business will be affected by the job cuts as the company is aimed at reducing expenses ahead of the Hong Kong listing. Moreover, the company core ride-hailing business may see staff reduction of as much as 15%. Drivers will not be affected as they are not officially included in the company's headcount. In addition to the plan, Didi has already lowered investments in community grocery-buying. Other units such as Didi Finance, which is expanding outside China, and its autonomous driving business will be less impacted. MARKETING-INTERACTIVE has reached out to Didi for more details.
