She sat across from me with tears in her eyes. Telling me how she was being made to work 14-16 hrs days, being paid for 8 hrs, and finishing her shift at a time when transportation was no longer available late at night. She would have to get her own transportation, during times when cab drivers were picking up girls late at night and on the way to the drop off, raping them.

‍

Common theme was local management did not care and Western Management turned a blind eye, because Indians were cheap labour and who gives a shit about them. If something happens, there are billions that can replace them.

‍

As an Indian, I spoke up to the Western Management to explain what I saw. I expressed my hurt and disappointment at seeing my people being treated this way. I, myself, was born and raised in India. Coming from a political family, royal family, I felt a duty to help.

‍

I found I had a target on my back. The Western (US) executives were troubled at my disclosures and felt their business model will be negatively impacted if word got out. The Indian management, targeted the local staff to keep their mouths shut or not only will they lose their jobs, but they will not get any other jobs.

‍

With the right leadership, there CAN be a win-win situation. The will, desire, and skillsets needs to be there.

‍

I leveraged my network to derive change. Even if it was incremental. I tried to engage, enable, and empower my teams.
