Healthtech unicorn Innovaccer, backed by Tiger Global Management and Mubadala Capital, has asked its nearly 100 employees to resign amid financial troubles within the company, two people close to the development told VCCircle.  

The people cited above said that most of the employees impacted were from the tech and operations team.  

Run and operated by Innovaccer Inc, the firm is also said to have shared a video link with the staff prior to their layoffs. During the meetings in which senior team managers were present, the employees were asked to put down their papers.  

The startup is offering a severance package to the impacted employees, the people quoted above said.

Calls and emails made to the company spokesperson seeking response remained  unanswered.

San Francisco-headquartered Innovaccer, which operates in India from Noida, had in December raised $150 million in a Series E funding round led by Mubadala Capital, more than doubling the valuation to $3.2 billion.

The round also saw participation from existing investors B Capital Group, Microsoft’s M12 fund, Omers Growth Equity, Dragoneer, Steadview Capital, Tiger Global Management and new investors Whale Rock Capital Management, Avidity Partners and Schonfeld Strategic Advisors.
