ADAG says no firing; to hire 90,000

In the midst of massive layoffs being announced by various corporate houses hit by a global economic slowdown, Anil Ambani group on Friday said it is not planning any job reduction and is rather planning to create up to 90,000 employment opportunities in the next few months.

Debunking the reports that the group is laying off 6,000 people in its financial services and entertainment businesses, a spokesperson said, "There are no layoffs."

"In fact, the coming three months are high investment period for tax saving products and we are going to appoint almost 75,000 to 90,000 agents and sales representatives in the coming months," he added.

Earlier this month, Reliance Life Insurance's chief P Nandagopal had told PTI that the company would recruit 90,000 insurance agents and 2,500 sales managers by March 2009.
