Famous tech company Microsoft, Microsoft, is covered with its boria bed after 25 years. The company has announced the closure of its limited operations in Pakistan. Many people have described it as a worrying sign for Pakistan’s economy. Jawad Rahman, former founder manager of Microsoft Pakistan, says that the company exiting the country reflects the current business atmosphere here.
He wrote on LinkedIn that even veteran global companies like Microsoft find it unbalanced to stay in Pakistan. Former Pakistan President Arif Alvi has also expressed concern over the closure of Microsoft’s operations. He has said that this is a worrying sign for our economic future.
Why Microsoft took this decision
The company has done so under its global strategy of cutting workforce. Microsoft has cited a change in global restructuring and cloud-based, partner-lad model behind closing its office in Pakistan. Microsoft is cutting around 9000 jobs worldwide. This number is about 4 percent of the total workforce of the company. Microsoft had earlier trimmed around 6,000 employees in May this year, which was Microsoft’s largest pruning over the years. After that in early June, news came that the company dropped more than 300 employees.

So will there be no operation in Pakistan in any way
According to a report by Techchchan, Microsoft has reported that the company is shifting to a new model. Under this, it will now serve to Pakistani customers with the help of regional offices and authorized resalers instead of direct office. The company has cleared that this change will not affect its existing services or customer agreement. Microsoft has also used such a model in other countries and has assured that the quality of service will not be affected.
5 employees affected
According to the report, only 5 employees in Pakistan have been affected by Microsoft’s decision. They had the responsibility of selling products mainly like Microsoft Azure and Office. The company never established an engineering base in Pakistan. The company started transferring major works such as licensing and contract management for Pakistan to its European center in Ireland for the last few years.
