Popular social media platform Twitter has recently closed down two of its three offices in India, according to a report by Bloomberg News. 

The affected offices were situated in New Delhi and Mumbai. The third and remaining Twitter office in India, situated in southern Bengaluru, is reportedly still operating. According to Bloomberg, the Bengaluru branch mostly consists of engineers working for the Elon Musk-owned company.

Late last year, soon after Elon Musk's $44 billion acquisition, Twitter let go of more than 90% of its 200+ employees in India. Affected employees were from various departments, including engineering, communications and marketing.

Right after getting control of the company, Elon Musk stated he was planning to fire about 3,700 Twitter employees, which then constituted about half of the entire workforce of Twitter.
