According to the ET reports, a short-form video hosting service, TikTok has fired its entire India team. The company has fired 40 people.

The move came almost after three years TikTok was banned in India. The app was banned in India along with 300 other Chinese apps over national security issues. The employees that were working out of the India office were primarily working on the Brazil and Dubai markets. 

TikTok has global offices including Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris, Berlin, Dubai, Singapore, Jakarta, Seoul, and Tokyo.

“The TikTok India employees were told that February 28 would be their last day and were given feelers to look out for other opportunities for some time as it was conveyed that restarting India operations were not going to take off because of the government’s stance on Chinese apps,” a source told ET.

“The entire team was informed. We were anyway told some time ago that business in India may be shut off, so look for jobs. Most people will be given 90 days severance,” another source told ET.

The TikTok app had over 200 million users in India when it was banned in June 2020. The Chinese company considered India as one of its biggest overseas markets.

TikTok is the leading destination for short-form mobile video and our mission is to inspire creativity and bring joy. The platform is a home for creative expression through videos that create a genuine, inspiring, and joyful experience.
