Would other companies follow suit as MPL?

Yes I think because mpl and ashneer grover's startup already suffered because of this.

Dream11 and Games24x7 are profitable so they melight not cut jobs but instead freeze hiring for some time. But for unprofitable cos, they'll most likely go for layoffs.

Expect cuts everywhere and deep ones. Another thread says d11 is cutting 70%. So, exercise maximum caution
