&gt; LendingClub: San Francisco-based financial services company LendingClub announced on January 12 that it laid off 14% of its workforce, or 225 employees, expecting the job cuts to result in savings of nearly $25 million to $30 million this year. On January 25, LendingClub will report fourth quarter and full-year 2022 earnings. A report by the news agency Reuters last week said the company expects revenue to be between $260 million and $263 million and a net income in the range of $21 million and $24 million for the fourth quarter.

&gt; Ola: As many as 200 employees from Indian multinational ridesharing company Ola were fired as part of a restructuring exercise.

&gt; Flexport: American supply chain software startup Flexport is laying off 20% of its workforce or 640 employees. A memo by co-chief executive officers (CEOs) Dave Clark and Ryan Peterson said, "We are overall in a good position but are not immune to the macroeconomic downturn that has impacted businesses around the world. Our customers have been impacted by these challenging conditions, resulting in a reduction to our volume forecasts through 2023." CNBC reported on January 11 that the memo added that lower volumes, combined with improved efficiencies as a result of new organizational and operational structures, meant it was overstaffed in a variety of roles.&nbsp;

&gt; Dunzo: Quick-grocery delivery provider in India — Dunzo announced on Monday (January 16) that it has laid off three per cent of its workforce amidst cost-cutting measures. The company's co-founder and CEO Kabeer Biswas told IANS they were looking at team structures and network design to build efficiency into our teams. "We had to part ways with 3 per cent of our team strength. Whatever the numbers, these are people who chose to build their careers with Dunzo, and it is sad to have talented colleagues leave us," Biswas said.&nbsp;

Explained: With Microsoft latest to lay off staff, here's why mass firings are becoming the norm  

&nbsp;Amit Bhasin, the co-founder of startup GoMechanic , admitted to financial reporting errors on Wednesday.&nbsp;

GoMechanic manipulated its financial records by exaggerating revenues after it secured a massive $42 million in funding two years ago, according to media reports.&nbsp; As a result, investors ordered a forensic audit and a business restructuring that will result in the firing of 70 per cent of the company's 1,000 or so employees.&nbsp;

Leading investors in the startup include Sequoia Capital, Tiger Global, Orios Venture Partners, and Chiratae Ventures.&nbsp;The company's investors were informed of the major errors in its financial reporting recently.&nbsp;

A statement by investors read, "We are deeply distressed by the fact that the founders knowingly misstated facts, including but not limited to inflation of revenue, which the founders have acknowledged.”&nbsp;

The remaining staff will work without pay for the next three months, said the automobile after-sales service startup.&nbsp;

Bhasin claimed in a post on LinkedIn that founders got "carried away" in their pursuit of opportunities to develop.&nbsp; A forensic audit of the company's books has been ordered to determine the extent of the financial misreporting.&nbsp;

GoMechanic is a business that connects car owners with local auto repair shops. On its website, it also offers original spare parts and car accessories.&nbsp;It was started in 2016 by Bhasin, Kushal Karwa, Nitin Rana, and Rishabh Karwa.&nbsp;

Now to survive, the startup needs to raise money, with about a third of its debts due soon.&nbsp;
