BookMyShow, a platform to book movie tickets as well as for entertainment events, has laid off 200 employees. This is the second prime layoff at the company since it gave the pink slip to 270 people in the first wave of COVID-19. Co-founder and chief executive Ashish Hemrajani tweeted on Thursday that 200 of the “most incredibly talented and performance-driven individuals” were laid off, and urged people across industries to give him leads on vacancies.
“COVID19 has taught me many lessons & I learnt another one today. As we let go of 200 of the most incredibility talented & performance-driven individuals, each & everyone has messaged, thanking me for the opportunity, the love for @bookmyshow and asking me if they could help ‘me’ in any way possible. Now that’s character. And if there is a ‘Unicorn’ of wealth then this is it – the character of people you choose to surround yourself with (sic),” said Hemrajani.
