Layoff in India

Recently, businessline had reported that the majority of Twitter’s 200-odd employees in India were fired as part of Elon Musk’s decision to lay off half of the company’s workforce globally, in an effort to cut down costs. Nearly all business verticals have been affected, and except for retaining a skeletal staff in sales, Twitter has laid off entire teams in marketing, communications and partnerships in its India office.
