ByteDance is restructuring TikTok India team, transfers country head

New Delhi/Mumbai: ByteDance Inc., which did not get any immediate relief from the Bombay High Court last week over the freezing of its bank accounts in India, has been restructuring its TikTok team in the country.

Most employees in functions such as sales and marketing have left. Staffers working in the technology team and TikTok’s India head Nikhil Gandhi have been moved under the cluster that handles Middle East and North Africa (MENA), Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and Turkey regions, people familiar with the matter said.

Gandhi has been made the head of Middle East, North Africa, Turkey and South Asia.
