Layoff history

Flipkart cut 500 employees
500 laid off Location Bengaluru

Following its annual performance review, Flipkart laid off about 500 employees in March 2026, an estimated 3-4% of its workforce, according to Inc42. The Bengaluru-based e-commerce company said it "conducts regular performance reviews aligned with clearly defined expectations" and that "as part of this process, a small percentage of employees may transition from the organisation." The scale exceeded the typical 1-2% impact of past reviews. The cuts came as the company tightened operations ahead of an anticipated IPO filing expected by late 2026 or early 2027. It said it was supporting affected staff with transition assistance, though specific severance terms were not disclosed. Flipkart Internet reported FY25 operating revenue of about ₹20,493 crore, up 14.4% year over year, while narrowing net losses 37% to ₹1,494 crore.
