Most Indian startups don't give severance. They ask their employees to resign or they'll give bad feedback in their termination letter.

Practo engineering team is down to just 35 members now. Close to 50% of the engineering team was laid off

Can be. I'm not aware of the exact numbers.

I remember a time where they were 100 PMs working in Practo

This is a continuation to my previous post.

bc itne amount ka subscription bechte hain sort of monopoly type in this category, fir bhi ye condition hai

Paisa nahi hai.. I don’t think they are making any money. It is a sinking ship

might be true, since these days most indian startups are running on debt structure

Project manager

Wtf they are saying it's not due to cost cutting but due to performance https://www.indiatoday.in/technology/news/story/healthcare-app-practo-lays-off-41-employees-from-engineering-team-2357440-2023-04-08

Some engineering people with lot of dependencies were asked to leave. HR is motivating juniors, that they can do the work without the senior folks. 
  
 Which I think is not fkin possible.

That just results in further chaos and the existing team and product always suffers because of this type of behaviour.

I have heard only for 5 years, then they go back to pool?

Quite a large number of people were asked to resign gradually over the 3 weeks.

The impacted personnel include SEs,Some PMs, and EMs too.

Looks like a massive downsizing. Around 30 percent of the folks seem affected, but I'm not sure on that number.

No severance. A month of notice.

Paytm layoffs

Product Manager

Preqin has laid off around 40% of its workforce from India today. The company has a 2 month notice period policy but affected people don't need to serve this period. They will get 2 months salary + severence packgae which is worth 2 monhs salary, so 4 monthspay in total. 
This company had started compulsory WFH this month.

Preqin lay offs

Heard that Paytm is planning to layoff 10% of entire work force. Across all levels.

Heard cases that folks who were hired at market premium less than 30 days ago are now being asked to leave the organisation. 

And the layoffs will be hidden under the guise of mid year appraisals. #PaytmKaro

HR is having 15-20 meets everyday, anyone can confirm with their calendar. 

Multiple HRs multiple laid off people. Zero severance. They are pressuring people to resign and saying you have to resign today itself! 

Market is going to get flooded with Paytm folks. 

Worst regret is that management and CEO made bad decisions and flunked compliance / risk. But after crackdown by RBI they are making employees suffer. 

It is heard that this will continue to go on till months. 

There should be a course on how to behave and work like a CEO.

Paytm is laying off people since May 27 (forced resignation)

Hi Guys,
The management at Paytm has informed around 30-40 % will be laid off in May end.

I will be affected by Paytm layoffs as list is being prepared.
Any referrals/leads for backend software Engineer(tech stack Scala,Kafka,SQL,AWS ) would be helpful as I had joined Paytm as fresher last year.Total experience will be 1 year in June.

Laidoff by paytm

Software Developer

Post phonepe declined to acquire Zest, following ate the scenarios at Zest : 

1. 33% employees laid off
2. 33% employees were hired at Phonepe
3. 33% employees have jobs at Zest but they are thinking Zest to be a sinking ship so might move away.

ZestMoney layoff scenario

dunzo laid off ~20-25% of it's workforce today, calling it that they overhired, pretty pre-planned.
And coincidentally some dept. heads are on leave for the next few days, unavailable to answer their team.
I wonder why these people even take up the leadership roles if they can't step forward to answer.
