Dunzo massive layoff

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.

Layoff was massive, 30%+ Leadership did an org wide call announcing it first Informed impacted folks on email and 1-1s with Dirs/EMs Leadership did townhall QnA in the evening with everyone

They’re one of the companies I really admire. They hire too level staff as well. Good luck to folks at Dunzo who got laid off. Super skilled folks. Specially the design team ✌️

And just got a notification saying dunzo secured $75M through convertible notes and all.

Yeah. Although ofc convertible note is like debt.

So it's not "free VC money" which they can spend willy nilly. It's definitely a sign that they need to get conservative.
