|Times of India|8 months ago

A US district court has ruled that Cognizant is guilty of discriminatory practices against non-Indian employees, following a class-action lawsuit filed by former workers. The court found that the company’s actions warranted punitive damages, as the plaintiffs, including Christy Palmer and Jean-Claude Franchitti, reported being excluded from discussions, facing a hostile work environment, and being replaced by less-qualified Indian workers. Cognizant denies the allegations and plans to appeal, asserting its commitment to equal employment opportunities and a diverse workplace.
