Date: Protest held July 24, 2026 (Hyderabad) | Sources: NewsMeter, Deccan Chronicle, HR Katha, Hauterrfly An employee identified as R Bhavana staged a solo protest (dharna) outside Tech Mahindra’s Dundigal/Medchal campus in Hyderabad, alleging she was terminated after taking three days of leave to care for her seriously ill 11-year-old daughter — not her father, as your screenshot states. That detail is consistent across NewsMeter, Deccan Chronicle, HR Katha, and Hauterrfly’s coverage, so the screenshot appears to have gotten that fact wrong; it’s possible it’s a different, less-verified account, or simply an error in the graphic.
The broader allegations, though, line up across outlets: Bhavana, who had joined the company about four to five months earlier, says she previously took 13–14 days of medical leave after falling ill and fainting at work, during which management allegedly sent repeated emails pressuring her to return and threatening termination. She also alleged a restrictive office culture, including having to seek permission to use the washroom. When her daughter fell ill more recently, she says she informed supervisors, was told to stay logged in pending approval, then left after repeated calls — and was terminated days later without a chance to explain. She’s filed a police complaint, and Tech Mahindra has said it’s “urgently reviewing” the matter but hasn’t addressed the specific allegations publicly.
Since this centers on one person’s unverified personal dispute rather than a large-scale corporate layoff, I’d treat it differently from the MNC roundup — worth a caveat if you publish it that these are her allegations, not established facts, and that the company’s side isn’t yet public.
