TikTok has reportedly sacked its entire India staff — about 40 employees — and February 28 will be their last working day.
According to a report in The Economic Times, the ByteDance-owned platform, banned in India in June 2020 over national security concerns, told its employees they would receive up to nine months of the severance package.
However, most of the staff will only get three-month severance.
In June 2020, the government banned TikTok along with 69 other Chinese apps citing security concerns.
