Hustle culture or harassment? Techie shares her traumatic experience at dream startup: 'Was gaslighted for 3 years'
Starting a career with a startup has become increasingly common among young graduates, promising rapid learning, diverse responsibilities, and the chance to be part of something from the ground up. But beneath this appealing exterior often lies a turbulent and unpredictable reality—one that blurs personal boundaries, disregards employee safety, and prizes image over integrity. In 2022, a fresh graduate took her first step into the corporate world, joining a high-profile Indian SaaS startup focused on identity verification. Backed by elite investors and founded by business school alumni, the company appeared to embody promise and prestige. However, the glitter faded quickly. Within weeks, she was subjected to disturbing acts of misconduct. A senior leader, much older and in a position of power, made a non-verbal demand for physical contact—an inappropriate and humiliating request. Just days later, at a company event, the same man assaulted her while she was intoxicated, physically picking her up and ignoring her repeated pleas to stop. The immediate aftermath was marked by disbelief and betrayal. Her attempt to seek help through the HR department resulted in shallow assurances but no real action. Despite being encouraged to file a formal complaint, fear held her back. New to the workforce and only 21, she didn't feel safe challenging the very people in control of her career. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Elegant New Scooters For Seniors In 2024: The Prices May Surprise You Mobility Scooter | Search Ads Learn More Undo When she confronted the man who harassed her, he downplayed the incident with manipulative justifications and thinly veiled threats, suggesting he'd walked away from similar situations before. As she refused to stay silent, the retaliation began. Excluded from meetings, projects, and informal gatherings, she was systematically isolated and humiliated. The psychological toll deepened with each passing day. The hostile environment wasn't limited to a single incident or individual. Even her female reporting manager crossed boundaries by asking extremely personal and inappropriate questions during the first week. It was clear that workplace harassment had been normalized within the company's culture. This culture of manipulation and gaslighting chipped away at her mental and physical health. Frequent illnesses, anxiety, and emotional breakdowns became part of her daily life. Conversations felt like navigating a maze filled with hidden traps. She found herself alone in a place that publicly celebrated trust and safety. Ironically, the startup continued to build its brand around mental health awareness and inclusivity while silencing voices like hers. Senior leaders mocked women's safety laws behind closed doors. When she raised concerns with one of the co-founders, he offered only passive resignation, acknowledging the abuse while doing nothing to address it. Three years later, she still bears the scars—emotional, mental, and professional. Her confidence eroded, her personal life was disrupted, and her career was derailed before it truly began. While the startup continues to promote its polished image and attract investments, she's left grappling with lasting trauma. Her story is a stark reminder that "culture" is not built through slogans, TED Talks, or branding campaigns. It's revealed in how power is wielded when no one is watching—and in whether people feel safe when they speak up.

Mukesh Ambani to give Rs 151 crore grant to his alma mater ICT in Mumbai
Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director of Reliance Industries, has announced an unconditional grant of Rs 151 crore to his alma mater, the Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT), Mumbai. The announcement was made during his visit to the institute for the launch event of a biography titled Divine Scientist, chronicling the life and work of his former mentor, Professor M.M. Sharma. Ambani, who graduated from the institute in the 1970s when it was known as the University Department of Chemical Technology (UDCT), paid tribute to Prof. Sharma. Recalling his first lecture, Ambani said it left a lasting impression on his academic and professional journey. He praised Prof. Sharma not only as an academic giant but also as a quiet architect of India's economic liberalisation. 'Like my father, Dhirubhai Ambani, he had a burning desire to transform Indian industry — from a system of scarcity to global leadership,' Ambani remarked. 'These two visionaries believed that science, technology, and private enterprise could open the gates to national prosperity,' he added. Ambani described Sharma as a 'Rashtra Guru – a Guru of Bharat,' and credited him for influencing policymakers to dismantle the license-permit raj, enabling Indian industries to scale up, reduce imports, and compete globally. The Rs 151 crore donation was made in honor of Prof. Sharma's request. 'When he tells us something, we just listen. We don't think. He told me, 'Mukesh, you have to do something big for ICT.' This is my Guru Dakshina,' Ambani said. The contribution is expected to significantly strengthen ICT's research infrastructure and global collaborations.

India's first national paper expo debuts in Hyderabad
Hyderabad: PAPEXPO 2025, India's first national-level exhibition exclusively dedicated to the paper industry, was inaugurated today at HITEX Exhibition Centre, Hyderabad. The three-day event, organised by the Paper Foundation and supported by the Ministry of MSME, Government of India, brings together stakeholders across the paper value chain to promote innovation, sustainability, and industry growth. The event was inaugurated by industry stalwarts including Narendra Paruchuri, Managing Director, Pragathi Offset Printers; Soumyajit Mukherjee, CMO, Emami Paper Mills; Dr Ajay Satia, MD, Satia Industries; Rushabh Shah, MD, Three M Paper Boards; and Abiali Jani, Director, Jaini Sales. Distinguished attendees also included MK Goyal, General Secretary, IPPTA; Nataraj, Deputy Director, Indian Institute of Packaging (IIP); Nirmal Kuhad and Arvind Sharma, Directors of Papyrus Expo LLP; and B.R. Rao, President, Paper Foundation. Over 100 national and international exhibitors are showcasing the latest advancements in paper manufacturing, converting, printing, packaging, and recycling. More than 15,000 visitors are expected, including key decision-makers from across India and abroad. Speaking at the event, Soumyajit Mukherjee highlighted the dynamic potential of the paper industry, which engages nearly 2 million people and is valued at Rs80,000 crore. He noted the steady growth in writing and printing paper due to government education initiatives, and a resurgence in newspaper readership driven by declining digital trust. 'The industry is experiencing innovation across all verticals—from craft paper to recycled packaging boards,' he said. MK Goyal emphasised the importance of self-reliance within the sector, cautioning against over-dependence on imports and stressing the need to counter misinformation about paper usage. 'Despite being a sustainable industry, we've fallen victim to digital narratives that wrongly frame paper as environmentally harmful,' he said. Addressing the audience, Nirmal Kuhad reiterated PAPEXPO's role in debunking the deforestation myth. 'India's paper industry is among the most sustainable globally, with over 80% of production sourced from recycled materials like wastepaper, sugarcane bagasse, and agricultural residue,' he stated. The expo underscores the significance of paper in India's economic and ecological framework. Mr. Arvind Sharma called the sector a 'vital pillar' of India's economy, contributing extensively to employment and national tax revenue. PAPEXPO 2025 also aims to increase awareness about India's low per capita paper consumption—just 15–16 kg compared to the global average of 57 kg—and foster collaboration across industry segments. With the Indian paper market projected to reach $13.2 billion by 2033, and the packaging segment alone hitting $13.72 billion by 2025, the growth trajectory remains promising. Participants hail from major paper-producing states such as Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal, alongside international exhibitors. The Paper Foundation also seeks policy support from the Telangana Government to bolster green innovation and sustainability initiatives in the sector.
