Trell hires close to 50 employees from ByteDance

Lifestyle Video App Trell has hired close to 50 employees from Chinese Internet major ByteDance within 48 hours of the company laying off staff from their India office, after the government imposed a permanent ban on two of their most popular offerings - TikTok and Helo.

 

Speaking about the hiring, Pulkit Agarwal, Co Founder, Trell said, "ByteDance started with job cuts in India on Wednesday following a permanent ban on its apps TikTok and Helo. The situation is unfortunate, and we at Trell would like to continue supporting the talented people who have provided a great value to the ecosystem. We have various positions opened for anyone who is looking for an opportunity and would like to share our vision to build the largest Lifestyle Community Commerce platform in India. We are hiring experienced and talented team members across multiple positions like Marketing, Growth, Content, Community, Tech, Product, Ad Sales, Business Development, Design, and eCommerce at the moment. So far, we have received over 800+ applications in just 48 hrs from people who have recently been laid off and are currently looking for opportunities across verticals and we have hired over 50+ people from these platforms across various roles."
