The social media site has decided to discontinue engineering work at one of its development centres in Bangalore, a move that will lead to layoffs of at least 20 employees. The affected employees are part of ZipDial, the mobile communications startup the company had acquired for around $35 million last year.
Twitter did not disclose the exact reason for shutting down the centre, however, said that the company remained “committed to India as a strategic market and would continue to maintain a presence in the city.”
