Krutrim Initiates Second Round of Layoffs as Part of Strategic Realignment

It has been reported that AI unicorn Krutrim has conducted a second round of layoffs, dismissing over 100 employees. This move is part of a “strategic realignment” aimed at building leaner teams for better resource management.

Linguistics Team Hit Hard by Job Cuts

According to an ET report, a significant number of employees from the company’s linguistics team were laid off, even though they had just recently joined.

According to one of the sources, Krutrim had around 600 employees in its linguistics team, as reported earlier by the publication.

Earlier Layoffs in June Eliminated Over a Dozen Roles

This occurs just a few weeks after the company’s initial round of layoffs in June, during which more than twelve positions were eliminated.

This development occurs nearly a month after Krutrim launched its own agentic AI assistant, Kruti. As a Gen 2 multimodal assistant, Kruti analyzes text, voice, images, and files to produce responses and detailed reports.
