Ola Chief Executive Officer Bhavish Aggarwal on Wednesday delivered a bad piece of news to his employees. The CEO said that the cab aggregator will lay off 1,400 employees due to the depleting revenues in times of Covid-19.

The spread of coronavirus has significantly dented our revenues, PTI has quoted the CEO as saying. In the letter, he stated that revenue is down by 95% in April and May. The situation is unclear and uncertain, he further notes.

Just on Monday, the food delivery company Swiggy retrenched 1,100 employees, which accounts for 14% of its total workforce.

Earlier in the month, Zomato laid off 13% of its workforce.
