About

Indian AI unicorn Krutrim has laid off over 100 employees in a second round of job cuts, reportedly affecting a large portion of its linguistics team, which had around 600 members. This move, part of a strategic realignment to build leaner teams and manage resources better, follows a smaller round of layoffs in June. The company, which recently unveiled its AI assistant Kruti and announced major investments, is simultaneously stepping up hiring for its AI labs. The layoffs highlight the ongoing restructuring within the fast-growing AI startup as it balances expansion with operational efficiency.
