Overview
- In a widely shared video, 24-year-old Chirag Madaan said he resigned from a corporate banking role that paid ₹17 lakh a year because of culture issues and pressure to mis-sell.
- He described longer hours shifting from a 9-to-5 to about 9-to-7 and a move from a five-day to a six-day week that left little time to recover.
- Madaan said staff were pushed to finish lunch in 10 to 15 minutes and that even sick leave required detailed justification.
- He alleged heavy targets worth up to ₹10 crore a month and said missed goals drew harassment from seniors, adding he would not push costlier bank trading apps over cheaper options like Zerodha or Groww.
- News outlets report the account has triggered many similar anecdotes from current and former bank workers, note they have not independently verified the claims, and say they have sought comment from the employer.
