They were going for debt raise?

SillySushi
SillySushi

Yes , they have raised the debt money successfully

Please stop referring to this as ‘Debt Raise’. Raise is not a term to be used to replace borrowing. It fools the best of people working for startups. They have ‘borrowed money’ and will pay an interest/coupon on this. This ‘raising debt’ has got pharmeasy and lots of others in all kinds of trouble.

Damn no wonder they are firing I know some average freshers who joined at 21 base last year
Overpaying for average talent always results in firing in startups,is what I have observed

Miq also mass firing started , my friend was fired just within 10 minutes, 5 years of loyalty gone in 5 minutes, MiQ used to be good earlier but last year they sold their equity to some VC , now VC are running behind them to increase profit hence lots of layoff and cost cutting to come

WTH? A HR from Navi reached out to me just last week regarding a PM opening

SillySushi

In Product if I am not wrong then around 60-70% are on either notice period(voluntarily resigned in the past few weeks) or have been fired(made to resign in the last 2 days)

Thats sad to hear. I wonder how can management be so clueless that only a week ago they are looking for candidates and then they suddenly start to fire people

It's excellent for the ecosystem they are firing. If you pay 35lpa to a fresher what do you pay a 10 year exp dev? Do you have the revenue to pay that kind of salaries while protecting margins?

U join in crazy salary, u get crazy outcome. On a different note i m aware folks in goto financial working in India are facing severe layoffs as well. Same story. One year exp at 35lpa

I don't think Goto pays 35LPA for a fresher. Average is 15 and highest goes up to 25 for top universities.

Navi & Myntra - layoff or mass resignation???

Happened last week.

Navi does this half-yearly if not quarterly. Supposed to be performance based but systems and checks are not in place to assure the process is unbiased.

Myntra - not an organisation which does layoffs much.

Funny incident with navi

I was talking to one of the Navi recruiters and she became uninterested once I told her I was recently impacted by the layoff and can join within a few weeks. I mean it's funny how they don't want to interview immediate joiners who are i...
