In its latest round of layoffs, the company has fired 45 employees. The layoff wave has been arriving in ripples across the Indian companies after affecting thousands in the global market, including big names like <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/elon-musks-twitter-laid-off-more-than-90-of-staff-in-india-now-only-about-12-employees-remain-report-says/articleshow/95383606.cms">Twitter</a>, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/meta-says-it-will-lay-off-more-than-11000-employees/articleshow/95405068.cms">Meta</a>, among many others. According to a<a href="https://inc42.com/buzz/exclusive-healthtech-unicorn-pristyn-care-trims-workforce-gst-officials-seek-clarity-on-biz-model/"> report</a> by Inc42, the Sequoia Capital and Tiger Global-backed health-tech firm has fired around 300 employees across departments in the last two months. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="What does Pristyn Care do?" comment="subhead" text="What does Pristyn Care do?">What does Pristyn Care do?</cmsannotation> Pristyn Care is a health-tech company founded in 2018 by Dr <keyword id="345234" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="vaibhav-kapoor" source="Orion">Vaibhav Kapoor</keyword>, Dr <keyword id="12305824" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="garima-sawhney" source="Orion">Garima Sawhney</keyword>, and <keyword id="11127890" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="harsimarbir-singh" source="Orion">Harsimarbir Singh</keyword> that offers advanced secondary care surgeries across 800 hospitals, 200 clinics, and over 400 super-specialty surgeons. The company has so far <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/startups/news/surgical-care-startup-pristyn-care-is-the-42-startup-to-be-valued-over-1-billion/articleshow/88157965.cms">raised</a> $177 million from Sequoia Capital, Tiger Global, Winter Capital and others. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="15% of employees laid off" comment="subhead" text="15% of employees laid off">15% of employees laid off</cmsannotation> The fired employees make up around 15% of the company’s total workforce. The fired employees were junior and mid-level employees working in sales, administration, city teams, and others. The company has claimed that it has fired only 45 employees, and they were let-go due to underperformance. "We have a comprehensive performance evaluation process that helps us understand the efficiency levels across the board. This is a regular process and we found around 45 employees across the organization who were performing consistently below expectations and we had to part ways," a Pristyn Care spokesperson told Inc42. The company has, however, denied claims about a mass layoff and has claimed that it has hired over 300 employees in the last four months. The layoffs come at a time when the company is<a href="https://yourstory.com/2023/03/sequoia-backed-pristyn-care-lays-off-300-employees-shuts-medical-tourism-vertical"> reportedly</a> scaling down its international expansion segment focused on medical tourism. The segment reportedly failed to generate sufficient revenue. Pristyn Care is not the only healthcare startup that has laid off employees. Companies like PharmEasy, MediBuddy, and Innovaccer have recently announced layoffs.
