Thynk Technology India Shuts Hinjewadi Office — 700+ Jobless 2026

Pune, 4 June 2026 — In a development that has sent ripples through Pune’s Hinjewadi IT hub, Thynk Technology India (ThynkTech India OPC Pvt Ltd) has allegedly shut down its operations overnight, leaving more than 700 employees — including software engineers, fresh graduates and interns — suddenly without jobs or any formal communication, according to multiple affected workers and local-media reports.

Employees who arrived at the company’s office in Gera’s Imperial Rise building in Hinjewadi Phase 2 reportedly found the premises locked, with management and the CEO unreachable. The sudden closure has triggered allegations of unpaid salaries for several months, bounced cheques, and unreturned security deposits collected from interns and staff.

Developing story: This report is based on accounts from affected employees, local-media reports, and police statements available as of 4 June 2026. Allegations described here are claims under investigation; an arrest is not a conviction. We will update as verified information emerges.

Shock and Despair Among Employees

The emotional toll has been severe. Many young professionals — especially freshers who joined hoping to build careers in Pune’s IT sector — described finding the office locked as devastating.

“It’s hard to put into words what it feels like to walk into the office in the morning, only to find the doors locked and no one from the company picking up calls,” one affected employee told local media. “We were promised growth, timely salaries and a stable future. Instead, we’re left with empty bank accounts and uncertainty.”

Reports indicate salary payments had already become irregular in the months before the closure. Several employees and around 30 interns alleged the company collected security deposits — reportedly up to ₹15,000 in some cases — that were never refunded. Many freshers and interns who relocated to Pune for these roles now face acute financial and mental stress.

Police Action and CEO Arrest

Hinjewadi police have registered a case against the company and its owner, Harshal Thakre (also referred to as Harshal Thakare), under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita relating to cheating and criminal breach of trust. The CEO was arrested and, per reports, remanded to police custody until 8 June by a local court.

According to police, the complaint was filed by a 25-year-old intern. Investigators are also said to be examining complaints over bounced salary cheques and non-payment of dues to vendors and the office landlord. The company’s registered head office is reportedly in Noida, while the Hinjewadi location served as a divisional office.

A Growing Pattern of IT Firm Closures in Pune

This incident is not isolated. Pune’s Hinjewadi and other IT clusters have reportedly seen several company shutdowns in recent months, raising questions about the stability of some smaller IT firms and startups. Employees across multiple affected companies have described similar issues — sudden closures, unpaid dues and a lack of transparency.

Labour experts note that abrupt shutdowns without notice or settlement of dues can violate labour laws and employee rights. Affected workers have been advised to file complaints with the labour department and approach the police if they have not already done so.

What Affected Employees Can Do Next

File complaints with Hinjewadi police and the Labour Commissioner’s office without delay

Company Background and Allegations

Thynk Technology India had reportedly ramped up hiring significantly in 2025, attracting hundreds of young professionals with promises of career growth in Pune. Employees claim that by early 2026 salary delays became frequent, followed by complete non-payment and the eventual disappearance of management. As of now, the company has not issued any official statement on the closure or the allegations.

Broader Impact on Pune’s IT Workforce

The incident again highlights the vulnerability of employees — particularly freshers and interns — in India’s IT sector. With the job market already competitive, sudden closures leave hundreds scrambling for new opportunities while absorbing financial losses. For many families, especially those who supported a child’s relocation to Pune, it is a serious setback.

NRIGlobe will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as the police investigation progresses and more employees come forward.
