About 1200 Motorola Mobility workers in India, US and China will lose their jobs with the company continuing its job reduction process announced in August 2012.

Motorola is going ahead with the job reduction process in order to reduce cost and overcome the impact of declining sales.

Last week Motorola employees received an email from the company in which they were apprised of the challenges being faced by it including rising  costs, competitive markets and declining profitability.

Motorola Mobility in August had announced that was planning to slash 4000 jobs around the world as part of its restructuring initiatives. This is approximately one third of its work force.

Mobility was bought by Google Inc for $12.5 billion to use Motorola Mobility''s patents to fend off legal attacks on its Android mobile platform and expand beyond its software business.

Motorola Mobility reported a loss of $86m in the first quarter of the 2012. That was greater than the $81m net loss it made in the same period a year earlier.

In August it was widely reported that it would shrink operations in Asia and India, and center research and development in Chicago, Sunnyvale and Beijing.

Motorola Mobility also shut down its India website and operations  which was announced in November. In a message for its Indian customers it had said, “We are streamlining our business and support systems, and unfortunately, we’ll no longer have a dedicated website for India. Your local support site will remain open well into the future, and we’ll continue to provide support for our existing products.”
