About
TikTok India has terminated its entire local workforce, laying off 40 employees in February 2023. This move effectively shuts down its operations in the country, following the Indian government's ban on the app and hundreds of other Chinese applications in June 2020 due to national security concerns. The employees, who had been working remotely from locations like Brazil and Dubai since the ban, were informed that restarting operations in India was unlikely given the government's stance. They were offered a severance package of nine months' pay. Prior to the ban, TikTok had amassed over 200 million users in India. The company, owned by ByteDance, is also facing increasing regulatory scrutiny and potential bans in other markets, including the United States, over similar data privacy and security concerns.
