EY India workplace issues
EY India chairman Rajiv Memani expressed deep regret for missing the funeral of a 26-year-old employee, whose mother attributed her death to work-related stress, and vowed to work tirelessly to create a harmonious workplace.
Anna Sebastian Perayil, who cleared her CA exams in 2023, had been employed at EY’s Pune office for four months before her passing in July.
In a letter addressed to Memani, her mother claimed that Anna had been overwhelmed by a “backbreaking” workload that took a toll on her physical, emotional, and mental health. The government has also announced plans to investigate the work environment at the Big Four firm.
