‘I literally have PTSD’: Woman recalls ‘toxic’ Indian office culture after moving back from US
Khyati stated that she and her husband moved back to India four years ago. She said returning helped them avoid visa-related issues and gave them greater freedom to explore ideas such as starting a business or taking a break from work.
Khyati, an entrepreneur who moved from the US to India four years ago, has shared her harrowing experience of working in a toxic Indian office culture. The woman, who uses the Instagram name Khyati, explained that the exhaustion, anxiety, and office politics she faced led her to develop Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). She and her husband relocated to India to avoid visa issues and explore business opportunities, but the shock of the workplace culture proved to be a major hindrance.
Khyati claims that managers in India were more focused on protecting themselves than their employees, leading to frequent instances of betrayal. After quitting her job in India during maternity leave, she decided to focus on her business full-time and can no longer imagine returning to a job in the country. Khyati's video has garnered thousands of likes and comments, with many users drawing parallels between India's work culture and that of other countries.
Some users have expressed gratitude for leaving the toxic environment, while others have lamented the prevalence of such cultures in Asian companies.
