LeEco’s troubles go from bad to worse this week with the news that the company is laying off 85% of staff in India.
LeEco, well LeTV, started off very well with a bunch of handsets that really captured the imagination of us and many of you, but things haven’t been so great for the company for the past few months.
The Chinese company bet enormously on the Indian market and, at least initially, things went pretty well. However, the situation has undergone a change since the company chairman , Jia Yuteing , admitted the company was in financial trouble.
