Possibly. It depends on Jolla's shareholders if they are willing to sell, also trying to aquire company against the will of current staff would be a risky move for them as it doesn't really take that many disgrunted employees to leave and they would be in trouble trying to fetch it all back together with new people - especially if they don't really have in house expertise for such development. But still, anything is possible and such move might guarantee the longer term future for Sailfish OS in some form (which might or might not be something we actually want). We live thrilling times once more - feeling like I'm getting too old for this... :P

I even see the Jolla first line support department moving to India to match location of the then biggest future Jolla market.

After all Jolla has been without service center for quite a while (the writings were on the wall quite a long time already in those service related posts "bear with us" ).
True. Without local first line support it's very difficult to support the customers. Maybe it's not like moving it all to India, if they intend to reach western markets, but at least found another service center run by Intex to support Sailfish OS based devices made by Jolla and Intex. However, I doubt investors are willing to fund Jolla-branded devices any longer, but want them to concentrate on software and manufacturer deals.
