Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) GitHub has let go of almost all of its engineering team in India as part of the company's previously announced layoffs.
The company let go more than 100 jobs as part of the reduction, which was announced to employees on Tuesday, TechCrunch reported.

Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft (MSFT) said in January that it would lay off 10,000 employees around the world.
In addition, Microsoft (MSFT) also said it would initiate "lease consolidation as we create higher density across our workspaces."
Microsoft (MSFT) shares fell nearly 1% in early Tuesday trading.
Separately on Tuesday, Japan's Fair Trade Commission said Microsoft's (MSFT) deal to buy Activision Blizzard would not harm competition in the country.
