Former US Expat Says Indian Office Culture Left Her with PTSD

A professional who spent several years working in the United States moved back to India and has spoken publicly about the environment she encountered in her former Indian office. She said the daily pressures, unchecked harassment and a culture of over‑work created a hostile atmosphere that she found difficult to endure. "I literally have PTSD," she told Livemint, adding that the experience left lasting psychological scars. The interview highlighted how the employee felt isolated, with little recourse to address grievances. Mental‑health advocates note that such accounts underscore growing concerns about workplace stress in Indian corporate settings, urging firms to adopt clearer policies and support mechanisms.
