Prime
minister Narendra Modi is currently on a visit to China. He has come here to attend the
shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit which started on Sunday. It is being held in Tianjin city of China. PM Modi has gone on a visit to
china after seven years. It is expected that this will improve the relationship between the two countries. While PM Modi left for
china, TikTok's parent company ByteDance has released two vacancies for its
gurgaon office.
Speculations of TikTok coming to
india intensify
For the last few days, there has been speculation about TikTok coming back to India. Meanwhile, these
job openings have given it a boost again. However, to put an end to the discussions about TikTok's return to
india recently,
indian officials had said that this app is not going to return in the near future.
ByteDance has confirmed that the app is still banned in India. In such a situation, after seeing this
job opening on a professional networking site like LinkedIn,
people are speculating that perhaps the
government is considering lifting the ban. Let us tell you that in the year 2020, TikTok was banned amid growing geopolitical tensions between
india and China.
For which two posts are the vacancies released?
In LinkedIn, ByteDance has released two vacancies for its
gurgaon office - a Content Moderator, who knows
bengali and a Wellbeing Partnership and Operations Lead. More than 100
people have applied within three days for this vacancy.
However, it is worth noting here that even though the company's website has started opening again in
india, it is still not available for download on both
google Play Store and
apple App Store. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Electronics and Information
technology has also given a clarification saying that the
news of TikTok coming to
india is false.
