We The People: Workspace - Still A Man's World?
A 24-year-old former employee of the internet video company The Viral Fever wrote an anonymous blog accusing the Founder and CEO Arunabh Kumar of repeatedly harassing her and traumatizing her with unsolicited and offensive sexual advances - charges that he has strongly refuted. Within hours, many more women shared similar distressing experiences. The workplace has always been an uneasy terrain for women, especially in the predominantly male sectors such as law and technology. On We The People, we ask - just how progressive is this new start-up culture? Were we naive to be taken in by the fancy logos and fashionable workplaces? As we herald a "new India", is all big talk drowning out the noise on the ground? Are these high profile new Indian companies just as flawed as the old guard they are trying to replace?
