Pimpri-Chinchwad: Days after the controversy surrounding the Tata Consultancy Services' (TCS) Nashik-based BPO, which involved serious allegations of sexual harassment, religious coercion, and institutional negligence, new and shocking claims of alleged sexual harassment have emerged from the TCS Hinjawadi office as well.

According to available reports, it has been alleged that several senior employees of the Hinjawadi TCS company have reportedly been approaching young women employees inappropriately. Sexual relations were reportedly proposed, and the women were harassed, according to several news reports on digital and social media.

According to these reports, the young female employees also went to the Human Resources (HR) department and tried to have action taken against the senior employees under the Sexual Harassment of Women at the Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013 (POSH). However, instead of getting support from the multinational IT company, these young women were allegedly fired.

Reports say that the TCS branch in Hinjawadi has a “gang” of over six to seven employees, and whenever a young woman joins their team, she is inappropriately approached. What begins as over-friendly conversations soon turns into sexual demands, harassment, and mental pressure. It has also been reported that some women give in to the pressure due to no action taken by the management.
