Centre Investigates EY Employee's Death Amid Overwork Allegations

Journalist

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Was reading a thread where people were saying don't be in shock if Ambani/Reliance starts making move after RBI's action on Paytm. I initially thought it to be a meme. Now I am just curious. 

Is the system really fair to allow such moves by the rivals after penalising them?
Or is the system that rigged to make sure their friends can get all the business to technically get the favors, funds, etc? 
Any thoughts on this? 
Whether is it too cruel and unfair that system just can't come into action to stop such moves otherwise how the startups anyway could rival the innovation that happens in the West if our own system anyway is there to cripple in such scenarios or do you think it's all fair in the name of business (you donot follow regulations, you will have to suffer eventually)? 
PS:- This is just to have a healthy discussion without any biases intended, with no political agenda in mind. I hope you'll keep the discussion healthy and interesting.

- Taxpayers eligible for a rebate under the new tax regime are facing issues due to recent updates in the e-filing utility on the income tax portal.
- The rebate of up to Rs 25,000 is being denied to those with short-term capital gains, despite the Income Tax Act, 1961 allowing it.
- Chartered accountants highlight that the anomaly affects hundreds of low-income earners and needs correction.
- Tax experts note that the rebate was available for returns filed before July 5, 2024, but the updated utility now denies it.
- The issue arises from different interpretations of 'total taxable income,' causing genuine taxpayers to miss out on rightful benefits.

ITR Filing 2024: Taxpayers Face Rebate Issues Due to E-Filing Glitches

In the last 30 days, two Indian women lost their lives due to the failure of systems at their work place. An ideal work place should ensure safety and support for all of its employees. Due to the lack of safety and support,we have lost a doctor and a CA. As a society,it is our job to ensure that the government works on these systems and ensure that things don’t repeat. To make governments work people should question. As a society we have questioned the RG Kar case properly. But what about the EY case? I agree with the fact that sexual violence is an extreme crime which cannot be compared with a death due to bad work environment. But a death is a death and people should be held accountable for this crime too. We haven’t seen enough outrage in the EY case, as much as what we saw in RG Kar’s case.   Anna is really a hero, who survived the torture. The problem with India is, we don’t even acknowledge this. Doctors as a community stood up when the RG Kar case happened. Leave CAs or the entire corporate employee cohort, her own colleagues didn’t bother to pay a visit to Anna’s funeral. In the case of RG Kar, the head of the institute was questioned and tried. Here the guy from EY, just shrugged it off his shoulders, saying random nonsense. Sometimes I feel that Indian systems have exceptions for foreign firms. I have seen people blaming Anna for not being able to cope up with work stress, instead of questioning systems in action. These people are very similar to those people who say that, the r@p& victim should have learnt martial arts. When the opponent is big and strong, neither martial arts, nor stress management techniques work.Always remember,today it’s her. Tomorrow it can be you or your loved ones. Isn’t it our responsibility to fight for better working conditions? Isn’t it our duty to at least spread awareness about a bad work place,instead of blaming Anna for not being fit enough to survive?

Should founders face criminal consequence?

I geniually want to understand why we are behind in manufacturing ? Although I'm from commerce background but I would love to know how does one start manufacturing business in India ?

What type of engineers you need ? Honestly I don't have any clue but if any has some information pls discuss here.

Why is Indian manufacturing so behind compared to China ?

Indian founders should pay the price for frauds. Ashneer Grover driving his Ferrari bought from stolen money and becoming a hero on television has set up a very bad example for the youth.

Elizabeth Holmes (Theranos) is in jail in the US for frauds she committed. Why aren't any Indian founder in jail for cheating investors and employees? How are Indian founders able to get away with shit? Its sets a very bad example

I’m a very private person and I was a bit confused whether I should write here or not, but anyway.

So, day before yesterday I was sitting on my chair after dinner and was thinking about my life and what the hell am I doing.

I realised that,
Saala bachpan se aaj tak race me hi bhaag raha hun. Pehle school me 1st, 2nd, 3rd aane ki race me. Then acche college milne ki race me. Then uske baad acchi job milne ki race me. Then uske baad agar ladki chahiye toh uske liye bhi ek race hai (Don’t have a gf, plz don’t take me wrong, it was a realisation)

My current daily routine is like this:
Wakeup everyday, write code, go gym, dinner, and then sleep and repeat this cycle everyday.

School ke dost peeche chhoot gaye, college ke dost apni life me busy ho gaye, colleagues se main zyada baat nhi karta and main akela padh gaya.

Feels like life is not intriguing anymore, it has no spark left. Its so painful to live everyday.

I feel like I don’t want to live any more, I want to die but I can’t cuz of 2 reasons.
1. I’m the only son of my parents.
2. If I die like this, then I won’t be able to come out from the birth cycle.

That’s it
🙏🏼

This will be actually a disadvantage to all women out there, company will prefer less those who are newly married or planning to have a kid.

I don't think anyone wants 2 years leave but provide support like WFH, flexible schedule, child care, etc. 

What's your view??

Do not support this at all!!
