Twitter closes offices in Delhi, Mumbai; staff asked to WFH

Amid layoffs and a severe cost-cutting, Twitter has closed offices in Delhi and Mumbai and asked staff to work from home (WFH), according to sources. The micro-blogging platform’s Bengaluru office that largely has engineering staff remains operational, the sources said.

The Delhi and Mumbai offices shuttered a few weeks ago, with remaining staff now doing WFH, sources privy to the matter said.

However, the number of employees affected by the move could not be immediately ascertained. A mail sent to Twitter on the issue, did not elicit a response.

The closure of the two offices in key locations in India comes as the platform has initiated massive cost cutting drive globally, after billionnaire Elon Musk’s USD 44 billion takeover of Twitter, last year.
