About

Foodtech giant Zomato has laid off approximately 600 employees from its customer support team, a move driven by performance reviews, restructuring, and an increasing shift toward AI automation. These job cuts, occurring less than a year after many were hired under a specific program, reflect broader pressures as the company navigates slowing growth in food delivery and intense competition in quick commerce. The layoffs, reported in early 2024, highlight the industry-wide trend of leveraging technology to streamline operations and reduce costs in the competitive foodtech sector.
