TikTok's parent firm ByteDance decides to cut jobs in India amid ban on app
By Aditya Kalra
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - China's ByteDance has decided
to reduce the size of its India team and is unsure when the company will make a
comeback in India, it said in an internal memo to employees on Wednesday.
India has decided to retain its ban on video app TikTok and 58 other
Chinese apps after reviewing responses from the companies on issues such as
compliance and privacy, two sources with direct knowledge of the matter told
Reuters on Tuesday.
The apps were banned amid rising tensions between India and China
following a border clash between the two nations last year.
"We initially hoped that this situation would be short-lived
... we find that has not been the case," ByteDance wrote in an
internal memo to staff, seen by Reuters.
"We simply cannot responsibly stay fully staffed while our
apps remain un-operational ... we don't know when we will make a comeback in
India"
