Big tech giants, including Google, Amazon, Meta, and others, cut several employees across India after nonstop hiring during the COVID-19 pandemic. Even companies are offering low-salary jobs by conducting interviews at colleges and university campuses.

A recent viral video sparked discussions on social media about unemployment in India. The video shows over 3,000 job aspirants, reported to be engineers, standing in long queues outside an IT company in Pune, Maharashtra. The video was widely shared on X (formerly known as Twitter).
