By recorded people impacted, Livspace (1,000), Ola Electric (1,000), CorroHealth (800), Zomato (600), Games 24x7 (580). Each entry links to the news report it was sourced from. Note that a single large event at one company can outweigh many smaller ones, so read the count alongside the company, not on its own.

Decreasing. By people impacted, tracked India tech layoffs in 2026 are down 44% so far versus all of 2025 — 3,805 people this year against 6,855 last year. Because 2026 is still in progress, compare the pace, not just the totals.

No, and the two answer different questions. This tracker is confirmed job cuts, sourced from news reports via layoffs.fyi. Our hiring-momentum page measures listings opening and closing on company career pages, where a closed listing usually means a role was filled, not cut. A company can be net-adding roles on one page and appear here on the other; both can be true at once.

It comes from layoffs.fyi, the most widely-cited community layoffs tracker, mirrored to a public dataset that syncs periodically — so expect a lag of days, not real-time. It records reported layoff events with a company, date, location and headcount where disclosed; smaller or unreported cuts are not in it. We publish it because it is the only free, structured, auto-updating source with a usable India signal, and we state its limits rather than dress it up as a census. Captured as of 25 Jul 2026.
