“Dooba dooba rehta hoon economy mein teri.”

Food product giant Parle says it may have to lay off up to 10,000 workers amid slowing economic growth and a sharp drop in the company’s sales. From cars to clothing to even biscuits, India’s economy is witnessing a consumption slowdown, forcing companies to cut production and fire employees.
