Thynk Technology India, a Pune-based IT firm, abruptly shut its operations in 2026, leaving over 700 employees and interns without jobs or unpaid salaries. Initially, payments were regular, but delays began in February, with management repeatedly promising clearance that did not materialize. Employees reported bounced salary cheques and unreturned security deposits from interns.
