Chennai-based startup SuperOps just laid off about 60 people, nearly one-third of its team, as it shifts focus to becoming an AI-first company.

SuperOps forms AI council, offers severance
To drive this change, SuperOps is setting up an internal AI council of 10 to 20 members who'll work on weaving AI into everything they build.
The company, founded in 2020 and fresh off a $25 million funding round, is also offering severance pay and job search help to those affected, a sign of how tech companies everywhere are doubling down on AI.
