5 cities. No discounts. ₹1,062 Cr raised in 15 months. @just_snabbit's bet: go deeper, not wider. They're operating in just 5 cities but 140 micromarkets within them. Shorter distances. Sharper focus. Workers travel just 247m, a 5-minute walk, between jobs. That's the math that makes 10-minute house help economically viable.

From California to Bengaluru: the global tech talent shift is underway.

Bengaluru, home to 28% of India’s AI startups, continues to anchor the nation’s deep-tech future.

When ChatGPT launched in 2022, the world expected an era of new jobs. In 2026, AI is the very reason people are losing them. 🤖 Oracle cut 30,000. Amazon 16,000. From global tech giants to Indian unicorns like Livspace the layoff wave has one common excuse: efficiency. Entry-level roles, BPO jobs, junior developers all on the chopping block. And the scary part? This is not an exhaustive list. 📉 #Inc42 #tech #layoffs #techlayoffs #AI #SaaS #Amazon #India #ChatGPT
