New Delhi, April 10: Amid deepening tech layoffs, US-based ticketing, marketing and experience technology platform Eventbrite on Monday announced a hiring spree for its development centre in India. It aims to hire 120 highly-skilled employees in the country this year.

"By opening a hub in India and inviting talent to work wherever they work best - fully remote from anywhere in the country, in our office in Hyderabad or a mix of both - we hope to supercharge our capabilities," said Vivek Sagi, CTO, Eventbrite.

"We offer our India employees the opportunity to work on a global events marketplace product at a significant scale. I am confident that India will play a pivotal role in the company's long-term global growth and success," he added.

Eventbrite will host a virtual career fair on April 14, hiring for roles across engineering, data, product management, product design and program management. Employment News: Job Vacancies in Banking, Financial Services and Insurance Sector See Significant Growth in March 2023, Says Naukri Report.
