Tech news portal Tech In Asia has laid off a great number of employees in its Singapore and Indonesia team, according to multiple sources.

Additional sources confirmed that it has laid off the IT department of its Indonesia operations.

Furthermore, Senior Writers have left both the Indonesia and Singapore team in recent month, although e27 understands some of them left on their own volition.

A tweet from ex-TiA employee Charlie Custer indicates the company ended its video production team earlier this summer.

“TiA has ended its video team, so I’m looking for full-time work, particularly remote work that allows me to flex and improve my motion graphics skills. Great video helps you sell more, do more, convince more. If you need that, let’s talk.”

One source also noted a possible link between the lay-off and the company’s plan to launch a paywalled version of their news platform.

The paywall was meant to be tied into a blockchain project and an ICO that never got picked up by the market. After traffic dropped the company reversed course but was forced to extend their runway with the layoffs.

When contacted, Tech In Asia declined to comment on the reports.
