In the wake of its takeover by billionaire business magnate Elon Musk, Twitter has been undergoing extraordinary changes. One such development has stunned people, as the micro-blogging site fired over 90% of its employees in India during the weekend.
The development comes as part of Musk’s strategy to reduce Twitter’s costs globally but has depleted its product and engineering staff in a market with immense potential for growth.
In India, the company has just over 200 employees, while the massive cut has left just over a dozen of its staff at present, those aware of the matter have shared with Bloomberg while seeking anonymity.
India is known as one of the most potential-driven markets in the world for growth in the tech sector with several Big Tech firms including Twitter, Google, and Meta Platforms, relying on its immense potential to find new users online.
However, these companies also encounter strict regulations in the country when it comes to the content on their platforms.
