NDTV
Anna Sebastian Perayil had died just four months after joining EY India in March.
Anna Sebastian Perayil, the 26-year-old EY India employee who allegedly died of 'overwork', sparking outrage and a nationwide debate on working conditions, was supposed to get married this month, one of her cousins has revealed.
Sunil George Kuruvilla, an assistant director at research and analytics firm Acuity Knowledge Partners, also recounted that Anna had two options: pursuing an MBA or chartered accountancy, and she chose the latter, going on to join EY India after finishing the course. Quoting Robert Frost's 'The Road Not Taken', he said: "And that has made all the difference."
After Anna's mother, Anita Augustine, wrote a letter to EY India Chairman Rajiv Memani on the challenges her daughter faced at work, Mr Memani has said that he will not rest until the company accomplishes its objective of nurturing a harmonious workplace.
