About

Mobile Premier League (MPL), an Indian esports and skill gaming startup, laid off 100 employees, representing about 10% of its workforce, in late May 2022. This move came as the company exited the Indonesian market and discontinued its in-app streaming product, responding to a broader slowdown in the startup ecosystem after a pandemic-fueled boom. The Bengaluru-based founders cited a market shift toward rewarding profitable growth over aggressive expansion, necessitating rapid restructuring to ensure long-term health. Affected employees received full severance and extended ESOP options.
