Indian software giant Tech Mahindra fires diversity officer ‘who mocked gay people'
Last week, Gaurav Probir Pramanik, (twitter: @gauravpramanik ) who has faced bullying since childhood because of his sexual orientation, took to Twitter on Tuesday to talk about how he was mocked even at the workplace, while for Tech Mahindra in 2015.
Gaurav had tweeted,
Acting on a public outburst of harassment faced by a former Tech Mahindra confirmed that it sacked its training lead Richa Gautam.
Gaurav had tweeted,
As promised, I wrote an email to my then boss at a Mahindra company I used to work with. She was a bigot and I suffered in her hands, I hence called her out. pic.twitter.com/4uHev8MY7G— GauravProbirPramanik (@gauravpramanik) September 9, 2018

Last week, Tech Mahindra had said it would conduct a thorough probe after a former employee, just days after the Supreme Court decriminalizing homosexuality, alleged harassment and discrimination by his then team manager in 2015.
