Twitter lays off have hit India, with many employees receiving email notifications informing them of their future in the company. The layoffs include across departments, including engineering, sales and marketing, and communications. 

Elon Musk said the massive job cuts he ordered at Twitter — axing roughly 50% of the network’s employees — were unavoidable.

“Regarding Twitter’s reduction in force, unfortunately there is no choice when the company is losing over $4M/day,” the billionaire tweeted. He said every Twitter staffer who was fired was offered three months of severance, which Musk said is “50% more than legally required.”

India employees started receiving termination notices early in the day, and only a few were sent 'survivor' emails, the sources said, referring to a term Twitter India staff had coined for workers who have not been laid off.
