Zomato Shuts Hyderabad Support Centre, Lays Off Around 250 Employees
Zomato is closing its Hyderabad customer support centre, resulting in around 240-250 layoffs as it consolidates in-house operations at its Gurugram headquarters. This restructuring follows a review of its Customer Delight model and increased outsourcing to specialised external partners over the past six months. Affected employees will receive August salary, four months' severance, continued medical insurance until March 2027, and outplacement support. The move aims to integrate remaining support functions closer to product and technology teams in Gurugram.
