Twiga lays off 33% of its staff, disbands in-house delivery and introduces logistics marketplace

Twiga will conduct another round of layoffs to keep its business afloat amid macroeconomic headwinds that have made capital harder to raise, and forced venture-backed companies to scale down their operations. The Kenyan B2B e-commerce platform said it is laying off 283 employees, representing a third or 33% of its 850 workforce as it pushes for a “lean, agile and cost-effective organization.”
Twiga said it is making new “strategic operating adjustments” including doing away with in-house delivery, which was supported by leased trucks, and in its place hire contractors on a per-use basis.
