The tech quartet-Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Meta—have already announced mass layoffs. Indian employees have been affected too. But tech is just part of the story. Elsewhere, especially in India, there are hundreds of jobs with no takers or requisite skills. Also, many CEO turned entrepreneurs are doing a ghar wapsi to the corporate world.
