Walmart-owned e-commerce giant Flipkart has reportedly asked around 400 to 500 employees to leave the company following its annual performance review cycle. The move affects roughly 3–4 percent of the company’s workforce, which is higher than the usual 1–2 percent of employees typically asked to exit during yearly evaluations.
The exits are linked to the company’s routine performance management process, where employees placed in the lowest performance brackets are asked to transition out of the organisation. Reports indicate that the decision has impacted staff across multiple departments, including operations, engineering, and marketing.
Flipkart said that it conducts regular performance reviews based on clearly defined expectations and that a small percentage of employees may leave as part of this process. The company added that transition support is being provided to affected employees as it continues restructuring efforts ahead of its potential public listing plans.
