Layoffs at Twitter should be hired where talent is valued; Koo to hire them

According to Mayank Bidawatka, co-founder of Koo, who has been dubbed as India's Twitter, some of the employees fired by the Elon Musk-owned business will be hired by Koo.

"Related to this going down and very said to see #RIPTwitter. As we continue to grow and fund our larger, next round, some of these former Twitter employees will be hired. They should be employed in an environment that values talent. Microblogging is about crowdsourcing. Not suppression," Bidawatka wrote on Twitter on Friday.

Very sad to see #RIPTwitter and related # to this going down.

We'll hire some of these Twitter ex-employees as we keep expanding and raise our larger, next round.

They deserve to work where their talent is valued. Micro-blogging is about people power. Not suppression.

After hundreds of employees left the internet giant due to Musk's ultimatum that they must work "long hours at high intensity" or go, Bidawatka's statement came after #RIPTwitter trended on the microblogging platform throughout.

Several prestigious businesses, including Twitter, Meta, and Amazon, have also recently let go of staff members. Koo is the newest company to make the announcement that it will give laid-off workers a chance to find employment.
