BPO girl killed on last day at work

All Indians,

The news has sullen whole country with an embarrassment that talent pool cannot survive in modern India. Jyoti Chowdhury, 22-year-old employee at a Wipro call centre in Pune was raped and killed by the driver.

What we can learn from this experience or just leave it like for next incident to happen. My family member is working in Indian BPO and I am really concern for the safety and security.

Who is responsible for this? Safety drawbacks from BPO Industry, Lack of Social infrastructure, high education in Women and lack of governance of political system in modern India?

This shocking murder has demanded the assurance to all the family who wants to educate their children to build modern India. They are really concerning of the health and safety issues for their love one and requirement of possible measurement to eliminate such crime.

I have emailed Sonia Gandhi, Prime Minister, Home Minister, India and Home Minister, Maharashtra and waiting for the answers?

In UK we have health and safety regulation and they are responsible for all business activities but in India no one seems care about this. This is a national shame towards women and we should act quickly another wise there will be many victims in future.

Financial punishment will not bring, those innocent back in life but by doing some thing we will keep alive other innocent by getting hurt. There is so much to do in India but seems no one bothers?

We have to take an assurance from all the BPO companies that female worker are safe during night shift. There is a crucial need to be review on the health and safety on every 03 months and report should be public.

Companies don’t do proper background checks while employing drivers this is a real concern. If BPO can make millions of dollar profit why don’t they have concern for health and safety? Sorry to think about but they will understand when their love one will get hurt one day!!

We need to work before, not after!! We have to send message across !!!!

Safety first

• Don't sit in the Cab if there is no Male employee.
• According to NASSCOM rules no female employee can be pick up and drop at first and last place.
• Only Driver is allowed to drive not his friend? Or any kind of friendly service.
• Check the roster as you board on the cab, which mentions the route.
• Please ask your male colleagues to behave professionally with the Driver.
• Please don't sleeps while you travelling to office?
• Please don't use mobile while you travelling and always make sure that the route you are travelling is correct.
• Make sure that you have all the detail at home/family member include
1. Cab driver mobile number – every week
2. Your friend’s mobile number and home details
3. Emergency phone number in diary or remember by mouth
4. Transport control number

If female employee looks any thing suspect then they can call police emergency, transportation facilities. If they don't like drivers behaviour please brings in attention to the management next day.

Please all female employees do not compromise with your life? Specially pick up and drop points!! Please be straight forward and strong voice all the time.

Such incidents will set back efforts to BPO growth and equal rights to women in Modern India. We need to have professional who can work on the safety of BPO staff and provide a new image to our country. What I believe is we have to look after each other!!

Can we bring the confidence in Available talent pool?
