Job-Loss

A few years ago, “job loss” conversations in Indian IT meant recession fears borrowed from the US — Twitter layoffs, Amazon layoffs, a headline that felt far away. That’s not what 2026 looks like. This year’s job losses aren’t announced in press releases. They’re happening quietly, one performance review at a time, and the reason isn’t a slowing economy — it’s AI.

If you work in Indian IT, this affects you whether or not you’ve felt it yet. Here’s the actual data, and a concrete plan for what to do about it.

Over the past few months, we are hearing news about many big tech companies handing over pink slips to their employees. Companies like Twitter, Amazon, and many of them are slashing their workforces. It is unfortunate to hear such news, and it is an eye-opener for many because this can happen to any one of us at any time. So there should be a plan to face the financial challenges during the job loss period.
