NEW DELHI — Weeks after allegations of forced religious conversion surfaced against employees of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) in Nashik — a case some Hindutva groups labelled ‘Corporate Jihad’ — similar charges have now been levelled against Wipro Technologies.
A former female employee has alleged religious harassment and workplace discrimination at Wipro’s Hinjawadi office in Pune.
The allegations were aired at a press conference organised by the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti. The woman, who has since resigned, filed a police complaint at Hinjawadi police station and sent a legal notice to Wipro demanding ₹50 lakh compensation.
Hinjawadi is a sprawling suburb of Pune with a high concentration of tech companies and business parks.
The woman said: “In August 2025, I was summoned to a company team meeting, where I was pressured to resign. I was not given a chance to present my case, and my resignation was accepted.”
She said a female colleague repeatedly pressured her to convert to Islam and have a relationship with a Muslim man. She alleged the coworker repeatedly interfered in her personal life and urged her to abandon Hinduism, claiming it would improve her life and provide opportunities to travel abroad.
The woman alleged she had informed senior company officials about the matter, but no action was taken on her complaint. Instead, a complaint was filed against her with the company’s Ombuds process.
Meanwhile, the Hinjawadi police have launched an investigation after receiving the complaint.
Employees at TCS in Nashik have accused colleagues of sexually harassing Hindu women staff, forcing them to pray in the office, insulting Hindu deities, and pressuring them to convert.
