Description
The world's biggest brewing group Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) is moving part of its European sales and distribution shared services centre based in Prague to Bangalore, India, as part of a cost-saving strategy. This decision will result in the loss of 60 jobs out of 500 staff by the end of June 2017. The affected “order to cash” team consists of mostly university educated people who process incoming payments and provide the process following the delivery of beer to customers.
