New Delhi: Indian-born microblogging platform Koo has offered to hire employees who were fired under Twitter's new boss Elon Musk lay-off drive.
On Friday, Koo co-founder Mayank Bidawatka tweeted the platform's offer.
"Very sad to see #RIPTwitterAand related # to this going down. We'll hire some of these Twitter ex-employees as we keep expanding and raise our larger, next round," Bidawatka tweeted.
"They deserve to work where their talent is valued. Microblogging is about people's power. Not suppression," he said.
Musk had initiated the mass firing earlier this month, and nearly half of the 7,600-strong workforce lost their jobs, and many departments got shut down within the firm across the world.
After Musk posted his condition of an "extremely hardcore" way of work or quitting the company, hundreds of employees quit their job before the deadline they were given by the CEO.
Koo has announced recently that it has become the second largest microblog available to the world. It was launched in March 2020 and has reached 50 million downloads and has seen an upward trajectory in terms of growth.
