New Delhi: Twitter's chargeable blue tick verification service is expected to roll out in India in "less than a month", the microblogging platform's new owner, billionaire Elon Musk has said.
Earlier this month, Musk had announced that verification blue tick in front of a user's name that authenticates an account will be charged $8 per month. Twitter's strategy to introduce a monthly charge for the verified badge has polarised users globally.
Musk, the CEO of electric car maker Tesla Inc, completed his $44-billion takeover of Twitter in October-end, placing the world's richest man at the helm of one of the most influential social media apps in the world. He also fired the social media company's four top executives, including CEO Parag Agrawal and legal executive Vijaya Gadde.
Musk has now said that Twitter Blue rollout can be expected in India within a month, clearing the air around when the chargeable service will be available in this key market. "Hopefully, less than a month," Musk tweeted in response to a Twitter user's query on when the service is expected to be launched in India.
