GitHub fires its entire India engineering team, over 140 employees hit

Open source developer platform GitHub has laid off its entire engineering team in India, its second largest developer community after the US, which affected more than 140 employees as part of the “reorganisation plan”.

Tech writer Gergely Orosz, who tracks global tech layoffs especially among the engineering/developer teams, the Github team in India has been let go at once.

“We’re talking of 100 engineers. This was done as the team was smaller than other locations, owning fewer and lower priority stuff,” he said in a tweet.

Orosz said he confirmed the layoffs after “talking with (now former) GitHub India engineers”.
