Indonesian travel photography startup SweetEscape laid off at least 30% of its workforce in April 2020, a significant reduction driven by the severe impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global travel industry. The cuts reflect the broader crisis that hit many travel-related startups, as lockdowns and travel restrictions drastically reduced demand for services like on-location photography. While the exact number of employees affected wasn't specified, the percentage indicates a substantial downsizing for the company, which had previously secured Series A funding to expand its AI capabilities.
