Ashneer Grover’s old video, posted a few years ago, talking about his visit to the Ernst & Young office went viral on the social media platform X amid outrage over a 26-year-old employee’s death, allegedly due to work-related stress.

After allegations about exploitative work conditions took X (formerly Twitter) by storm due to the report of a young Pune-based Ernst & Young (EY) employee’s death, the Ministry of Labour and Employment has assured a thorough investigation.

Anna Sebastian Perayil, a 26-year-old Ernst and Young employee, died from "work-related stress," according to her father. Despite parental advice to quit, she continued working long hours without adequate sleep or nutrition.

Ashneer Grover's viral story of quitting EY on his first day, citing a toxic work environment and describing employees as "mare huwe" (dead), has gained renewed attention following the tragic death of EY employee Anna Sebastian due to alleged extreme work pressures.
