Ola started its lay off process of 200 employees at the beginning of this year

SoftBank-backed InMobi has fired about 50-70 people on performance metrics. According to a source, the employees impacted are from InMobi and the firm’s lock screen-based content provider Glance.
This comes even as the company announced that it will skip increments for CY23 and also undertake recruitment only when required. The InMobi group has a total headcount of 2,600.
An email sent to the company asking about the firings and salary increments said, “InMobi / Glance is in the market actively hiring talent for the ambitious plans that we have. We also evaluate the performance of our existing talent on an annual basis and make decisions based on it. This is business as usual for us and part of our annual process. This year is no different.”
