I don't see layoffs happening in core industry sector.
Is that the case or I might be wrong?

a 10 year exp guy might be at a pay of less than 10 lpa. why would they even have any kind of layoff.

I know so many earning 70-80lpas with 8-10yrs of experience working in core companies like iron, steel, cements, manufacturing etc.

They might not be doing the core job they would be managers

Hire and fire is only for startups and tech cos.. not for traditional core businesses. They have solid visibility and planning systems in place unlike startups where the core business model is to raise money then burn that by paying random salaries and then fire once the money is over. Then start over again. Services, tech, softwares are replaceable but not physical core products iron, steel, cement etc. They will continue to flourish at slow pace. Remember that it was tortoise who won the race. If you are rabbit, then someone is going to eat you for sure.

Came to comment exactly this.
And to people who are saying core industries pay less - bulge bracket intl. banks, consumer goods, consumer durables, Indian banks, real estate, lala cos.. are paying equal to, if not more than so called glitzy startups.
Plus CTC is almost 90-95% cash, no ESOP bull$hit
Only thing these startups had going for them was the body of work. I can become GPM from APM in a very short time provided I prove my worth. Which doesn't happen in core companies due to set processes. Nowadays one would pick a stable low growth company over a startup given how the goodwill has nosedived

Right. Employees have slow growth but they live comfortable life on the outskirts of a tier 2-3 city. Decent schools for children, low cost of living and stable job. Frequent gatherings of family for functions, sports activities and life long bond with colleagues.

they pay very less salary compared to tech and squeeze the employees

I moved from big 4 consulting to industry. They pay way better than any tech or big 4 cos if you show your worth.

What is your line of work?

What do you mean by Core industry?
Jindal, Bhushan Steel and entire steel sector was suffering till 2020s due to Chinese dumping. Coal, Power & Energy: Complete loss making due to stalled projects, falling prices & too much supply till the Russia war. Transport: Jet Airways, Go Air fiascos Banking: 2010s were decade of debacle Real Estate: There's a list of builders that went under after Demo/RERA.
IT (US Tech & India) had been the most stably growing sector with margins since 2001 bubble burst way till 2022. What you are quoting is just recency bias and a correction of surpluses, which happens in every industry.

I'm talking about good companies e.g. Schlumberger, Hilti, Aramco, Cairn, etc. They pay good ..

Same observation.
Businesses doing business the good old way are surviving.

The core sector never boomed in India.

It's happening outside of India but that's not making as much noise as layoffs in tech sector
