NEW DELHI, Feb. 17 (Xinhua) -- Twitter India has shut down two of its three offices in the country, directing its employees to work from home to cut operational costs, local media reported on Friday.
The two offices shut down are located in Delhi and Mumbai, while the lone operational office is in the southern city of Bengaluru which primarily houses engineers.
The Business Standard reported that it found Twitter India's office shut in south Delhi's Mehrauli area, as a nameplate saying "Twitter Communications" was still displayed at the entrance of its executive center building.
"There were hardly a few people and since December 2022 it has not been used. No one has stepped in from them since the last few months," it quoted a building official as saying.
Similarly, the report also quoted sources as saying that Twitter India's office at "WeWork" facility in the Bombay-Kurla Complex (BKC) in Mumbai had no one coming. "Twitter India had a space for slightly over 100 people in the facility," added the report.
Another report by India Today said, "Twitter continues to maintain an office in Bengaluru, which is primarily staffed by engineers."
Twitter fired over 90 percent of its roughly 200-plus staff in India late last year, as its leader Elon Musk cut costs. ■
