Zupee on Thursday announced a layoff of 170 employees, representing 30 per cent of its total employee strength, and a strategic business realignment of operations in the face of a new regulation banning real-money online games.
The restructuring comes in response to the recently enacted Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025, and impacted employees will be given first priority for re-hiring as new roles become available, the company said in a statement.
