About

In June 2022, Indian social commerce startup CityMall laid off 191 employees, impacting at least 30% of its workforce, which had recently been over 500. The Gurgaon-based company, which had just raised $75 million in late March and over $110 million total from investors like General Catalyst, announced the cuts to implement structural changes and align with an evolving business model amid a sharp market reversal. This move was part of a broader trend of layoffs across Indian startups, as global tech stock declines led investors to slow funding. CityMall, which partners with thousands of micro-entrepreneurs across about 30 cities, described the decision as one of its toughest, offering support to affected staff.
