Over 20,000 Employees Fired: A List Of All CoVid19 Startup Layoffs In India So Far
By now the huge economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic is apparent. With extended lockdowns prevalent around the world and economies being almost shut for 3 months since March now, companies have faced a loss of revenue, burned their cash on fixed costs and employees, and have had to resort to all means of cost-cutting.
