Innodata Lays Off 550 Employees Across India and Philippines

Innodata India Pvt Ltd laid off nearly 550 employees in India and additional staff in the Philippines on October 26, 2026. The terminations were executed abruptly, with workers reporting sudden lockouts from company devices, internal tools, and identification credentials while on shift.

Following the system lockouts, the company sent formal termination notices to the personal email accounts of the affected staff. Employees have expressed frustration over the lack of prior communication and the resulting difficulty in retrieving work records and payslips.

Innodata has not issued an official statement explaining the reasons for the downsizing or providing details regarding severance packages. These job cuts align with a broader global trend of workforce restructuring within the data services and technology sectors.
