About

Swiggy, a major Indian food and grocery delivery startup, laid off 380 employees on January 20, 2023, as part of a companywide restructuring. This reduction affected approximately 6% of its total workforce of about 6,000 people. CEO Sriharsha Majety cited slowing growth in the core food delivery business, over-hiring based on overly optimistic projections, and a broader late-stage funding crunch impacting the tech startup sector. The company also announced the shutdown of its standalone meat marketplace, though meat delivery will continue through its Instamart service. Impacted employees were offered severance compensation ranging from three to six months' salary.
