Summary

Kerala opposition leader Pinarayi Vijayan criticized US-based medical coding company CorroHealth for a mass layoff of around 1,000 employees following the closure of its Kochi and Kozhikode offices. Vijayan called the action unacceptable, accused the company of using India's new labour codes as a cover, and argued the dismissals violated provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act since the new codes had not been implemented in Kerala. He urged the state government to seek reinstatement and wage compensation for the dismissed employees and warned of broader negative impacts on IT-enabled and allied sector workers. The article frames the layoffs as a politically contentious move and part of a larger debate over labour code implementation and worker protections.

CorroHealth cut 1,000 jobs affecting its tech / medical coding staff team as of July 6, 2026.
