| Event date | Jun 10, 2026 |
| Scope | Indian city named |
| Cities named | Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai |
| Reported impact | 250 in the people field |
| What the number is | About 250 people across Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai. The India operation closed. Opendoor continued in the United States with smaller AI-native teams. A stored 100 percent figure would describe the India exit, not the global company, so it should not be read as the whole firm. |
| Primary evidence | CEO note, reported by The Hindu and PTI · Open source |

On 10 June 2026 Opendoor wound down its India operation. The Hindu and PTI reported about 250 employees across Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai. CEO Kaz Nejatian posted an internal note the same day: customers are in America, and after systems were unified the operational work belonged closer to them. Small AI-native teams were hired in the United States. A small group in India stayed temporarily for handover. Severance and outplacement were offered.
This is a country exit, not a five-percent trim of a large campus. The people who lost the India roles were the India operation. The company did not shut down. Treating a stored 100 percent as “all of Opendoor” is the misreading. One hundred percent, if it is used at all, can only mean the India operation was closed. The global business continued, which is why the note talks about US teams being hired in the same breath as the India exits.
Three cities are named and no split is given. Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai can each list the row because each city is in the source. None of them is entitled to 250 as a local total. Adding the row once on each city page and then summing the people fields would count the same 250 three times. The people field is the India total.
The handover group is not a second event and not a hiring record. They stayed to close the office. When that work ended, this row does not grow a second number. There is no earlier Opendoor India row on this ledger to add to 250.
What we will not infer: a city-by-city split, a claim that 250 is 100 percent of Opendoor’s global staff, or that the US hiring replaced those 250 people one for one. The severance terms in the coverage are the company’s offer as reported. They are not a statutory formula this page can apply to anyone else.
About 250 people across Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai. The India operation closed. Opendoor continued in the United States with smaller AI-native teams. A stored 100 percent figure would describe the India exit, not the global company, so it should not be read as the whole firm.
Revision: 22 Sep 2026: written as a country exit. The percentage is not a global-company percentage.
