The spokesperson added that the company's focus is to ensure that GitHub is a fully integrated platform powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) for developers and customers.
"With this focus, we are consolidating certain business operations, some of which, unfortunately, are based in India and have resulted in job eliminations. We remain committed to serving the Indian market and these changes will not impact our customers and the 10 million (one crore) developers in India who use GitHub daily," the spokesperson said.
