Layoffs at Bain India. At least 100+ people will be affected

Heard from people I know at Bain that they are laying off. This is mostly the first time an MBB is doing layoffs (earlier they would silently fire, or delay onboarding)

A friend got impacted. Seems like this could be 10-15% of their consultants. Unprecedented.

That's why the government is giving free ration for the next five years also. No need to worry. Also there is an option to open Pakoda stall. I am doing the same.

Bain laying off and Government giving ration to BPL families? Trust some brain dead libtard to come up with false equivalencies.

Laid off MBB consultant with zero income is technically BPL 🤡

~200 log (20-25%) are affected. Work ex 2-3 years majorly.

Quite a few senior folks also though (Managers and up)

Bain India is mostly the backend knowledge support who portray themselves as consultants. Probably those folks

@Borosil_Carrier I think it is people still early in their tenure at Bain who are more affected

Is it only Bain India affected or all across the globe ?

Its only Bain India Partnership P&Ls are country wise so each office would take their own calls on how to manage costs and profits

  1. What levels are impacted is it at AC, C or M, SMs are impacted.
  2. Was it brutal like tech zoom call and gone or more performance based?
  3. Are their industry verticals impacted most ex: Bain was a lot into e commerce, retail, private equity.
