The firings include top executives across verticals such as agri-business, sourcing, FMCGs and the team responsible for scouting new locations for its store.

The expansion of the brick-and-mortar retail behemoth in India was getting constricted with competition from online retailers and government designing rules to protect local Kirana shops.
