I don't see layoffs happening in core industry sector.
Is that the case or I might be wrong?

Hire and fire is only for startups and tech cos.. not for traditional core businesses. They have solid visibility and planning systems in place unlike startups where the core business model is to raise money then burn that by paying random salaries and then fire once the money is over. Then start over again. Services, tech, softwares are replaceable but not physical core products iron, steel, cement etc. They will continue to flourish at slow pace. Remember that it was tortoise who won the race. If you are rabbit, then someone is going to eat you for sure.
Came to comment exactly this.
And to people who are saying core industries pay less - bulge bracket intl. banks, consumer goods, consumer durables, Indian banks, real estate, lala cos.. are paying equal to, if not more than so called glitzy startups.
Plus CTC is almost 90-95% cash, no ESOP bull$hit
Only thing these startups had going for them was the body of work. I can become GPM from APM in a very short time provided I prove my worth. Which doesn't happen in core companies due to set processes. Nowadays one would pick a stable low growth company over a startup given how the goodwill has nosedived

Right. Employees have slow growth but they live comfortable life on the outskirts of a tier 2-3 city. Decent schools for children, low cost of living and stable job.
Frequent gatherings of family for functions, sports activities and life long bond with colleagues.

What do you mean by Core industry?
Jindal, Bhushan Steel and entire steel sector was suffering till 2020s due to Chinese dumping.
Coal, Power & Energy: Complete loss making due to stalled projects, falling prices & too much supply till the Russia war.
Transport: Jet Airways, Go Air fiascos
Banking: 2010s were decade of debacle
Real Estate: There's a list of builders that went under after Demo/RERA.
IT (US Tech & India) had been the most stably growing sector with margins since 2001 bubble burst way till 2022. What you are quoting is just recency bias and a correction of surpluses, which happens in every industry.

I forgot Auto Industry. Very very low car sales since 2015 that Tata motors was afloat only due to JLR revenues from abroad.

Your username felt like Kotak Achar
It's happening outside of India but that's not making as much noise as layoffs in tech sector
