What causes layoffs in companies

From big tech companies to small startups, they have given similar reasons for layoffs.

So far more than 11 thousand Indian startup employees have been fired. Which is 40 percent more than the same period last year. Total layoffs in India are 5 percent of global layoffs. According to other information, since companies are gearing up for tough times in the year 2022, the phase of layoffs has started and so far more than 27,000 employees have lost their jobs in 102 Indian startups.
