Whoa!!! Meesho also joins the lay-off season

Meesho will be firing 251 employees this week. I have many batchmates in this org and have heard nothing but good about this company.

Sad to see this economy claiming another victim in the form of Meesho.

I've not heard good things about Meesho. Surprising to see that they are so late in doing layoffs.

They already did one round of layoffs in Jan, under the pretext of performance. Around 50-60 people were asked to leave

Aah that makes sense now. Looks like they realized that they need more trimming even after first round of layoffs.

Eh India’s economy is much better off than US. Yet layoffs will still happen. New reason of AI to do this is already ready

Meesho has clearly said it's because of over hiring, it has nothing to do with AI as already known by the people as well as claimed by meesho

This excuse is not old yet. Once it does and they still want to layoff then they will cite AI

@ThanosIsRight you survived? But at what cost

Meesho was sitting on -10% EBIT, at CM they would be (-1-3%) - they are losing money

Unit economics hardly makes sense for any startup. Can't help but feel that companies are using the current economic downturn to get away with as much as they can.

They did the layoffs few months back, no?

So this means they do lay offs every quarter or half year?
