About

In April 2023, the buy-now-pay-later fintech startup Simpl laid off over 150 employees, which constituted more than 25% of its workforce. The Bengaluru-based company, which had raised $83 million in funding, undertook this significant cost-cutting measure to extend its financial runway and become a leaner organization amidst challenging economic conditions. The layoffs, communicated via email and a virtual town hall by the CEO, affected staff across various departments. This move followed a period of rapid growth and mounting losses, reflecting broader pressures within the BNPL industry.
