Meesho to enforce mass layoffs
By MYBRANDBOOK
Meesho has announced plans to lay off 150 employees from its grocery arm. Further, as early as May, it is planning to integrate its grocery business under the Meesho Superstore brand. This is the latest in a series of layoff announcements from some of India's top startups in 2022, after the much-criticised decision by Lido Learning to let go of nearly 1,200 employees in late February. Though unlike the other announcements, Meesho does not seem to be firing people due to a financial crisis but as a move to reduce redundancies as it further integrates its grocery business.
Additionally, Meesho said that those employees that have been let go will receive severance packages and support in finding a new job. These layoffs will not impact Meesho's core businesses in any way, the unicorn noted.
The company said in a blog post, “As we look to boost efficiencies in the light of the integration, a small number of full-time roles and certain third-party positions on six-month contracts at Meesho Superstore were reassessed to remove redundancies with the core business. To support those impacted by this restructuring, Meesho is offering severance packages and outplacement assistance to help them secure new opportunities outside the company. The redundancies do not impact any positions at the core Meesho marketplace business, where we continue to hire and grow talent.”
