Mumbai. Ever since Elon Musk bought the Twitter company, he has made several big decisions. Now the company has decided to close the offices in Mumbai (Mumbai) and Delhi (Delhi). Twitter has asked the employees to work from home. Earlier, Twitter had fired a large number of people from their jobs. Twitter had three offices in India, two of which have now been shut down. Last year, the company laid off 90 percent of its employees in India. Now the company has closed two of its three offices in India. Along with this, the company has asked all its employees to work from home.

Bangalore continues as before

Meanwhile, last year, Twitter announced that 90 percent of its India office staff would be out of a job by 2022. This affected more than 200 people. After this decision, the company has decided to close Mumbai and New Delhi offices. Meanwhile, the Twitter company's office in Bangalore will continue as before. The move to shut down two of the three physical offices in India is a continuation or extended version of the mass layoffs that happened at Twitter India in late 2022 as part of which 90 percent of the company's roughly 200-plus staff in India was let go as the new boss Elon Musk looked to cut costs.

Nearly half of employees laid off

Within weeks of becoming the owner of Twitter, Musk laid off nearly half of Twitter's 7,500 employees. His decision also drew criticism. Musk responded to the layoffs by saying that more than half of Twitter's workforce would need to be laid off, as the company would have lost billions of dollars annually. Musk said that he is trying his best to reduce the costs of the Twitter company, which he bought for 44 billion dollars. Notably,Musk took over Twitter in October in a $44 billion deal and rolled out multiple product and organisational changes including Twitter-verified Blue check-mark as a paid service. Within weeks of joining, he also sacked half of the staff of the 7,500-strong workforce.
