> Let them hire and fire people at will

India is facing a weird problem. Everyone keeps increasing the notice period. Unlike the US where you can quit on the spot, Indian firms, almost all, have a 90 day notice period.

But they rarely give offer letters to anyone who isn't already on notice period.

So becomes the vicious cycle. Be on NP to get an offer letter. But who will risk resigning before getting an offer

And then HRs as stupid questions like "you already have an offer why are you still looking for a change" while having zero self awareness that they are contributing to the cycle.

If everyone made NP to be 15 days or 20 days then people will not get time to attend 100 interviews

Moral of the story: nobody wants to take meaningful decisions. Everything thinks exclusively of the short term
