Layoff History

N/A employees (83.5%)

Nov 8, 2025

Reason

Gameskraft undertook a sweeping organizational restructuring, leading to significant layoffs primarily driven by business continuity concerns. This was a direct consequence of the enforcement of the 'Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025' in India, which effectively banned real-money gaming and fundamentally shifted the operating environment, rendering several of the company's core verticals unviable. Additionally, the company was dealing with internal financial turmoil stemming from an alleged multi-crore fraud (approximately Rs 270 crore) perpetrated by its former Chief Financial Officer.
