A prominent over‑the‑top streaming service in India has confirmed a wave of job cuts as it adjusts to a challenging market environment.
The online streaming service, identified as one of India's leading OTT platforms, has confirmed that it is undertaking a significant round of layoffs. The development was reported by Gulte, which highlighted a "layoff wave" affecting the company's workforce.
Industry analysts note that the OTT sector in India has faced a slowdown in subscriber growth and advertising revenue, prompting several players to reassess cost structures. The platform's decision appears to be part of a broader effort to align operating expenses with the current market reality.
While the company has not disclosed the exact number of positions being eliminated, it has indicated that the restructuring aims to sustain long‑term growth and improve operational efficiency. Affected employees are expected to receive standard severance and support measures as per Indian labour regulations.
