Startup fires 100 employees after ‘fooling’ them with mental health survey

A Noida-based salon home service startup, YesMadam, has come under fire for allegedly terminating around 100 employees. The controversy erupted after reports claimed these layoffs targeted employees who disclosed work-related stress during an internal survey. The matter gained traction when Shitiz Dogra, Associate Director of Digital Marketing at IndiGo, shared a screenshot of an email reportedly sent by YesMadam’s HR department announcing the terminations on LinkedIn. While the post has stirred debate online, the authenticity of the email has not been independently verified by the TOI tech desk.
