Amidst plans for an up to $1 billion domestic IPO this year, Swiggy, backed by SoftBank, is reportedly considering letting go of 350-400 employees, around 6 per cent of its workforce. According to a source, these potential layoffs could affect both the technology and call centre departments. In January of the previous year, Swiggy made a decision to lay off 380 employees due to difficult macroeconomic conditions and a slowdown in its food delivery business.
