Jaitley also conveyed a dignified thanks to his colleagues and members of the organisation for their support in his journey of four years. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey however, didn’t find a mention.

Only last week, Twitter Inc announced that it would discontinue its video-sharing mobile app Vine, as it moves to cut nine percent of its workforce worldwide to keep costs down after beating Wall Street quarterly earnings expectations.
