A former employee of IT services firm Wipro has alleged that she faced religious discrimination and workplace harassment at the company’s Pune campus, claiming that she was pressured to convert her religion by a senior manager. The complainant has filed a police complaint and also approached a state human rights body seeking action against her former supervisor.

According to the allegations, the woman, who worked at Wipro’s Hinjewadi campus, said she was subjected to sustained mental and professional pressure by senior managers and team leaders. She has claimed that the harassment was linked to her religious identity and escalated over time after she resisted alleged attempts to influence her personal beliefs.

The complainant further alleged that she was threatened with adverse performance reviews and job loss if she did not comply, ultimately forcing her to resign due to stress and workplace pressure. She has stated that she did not receive adequate resolution through the company’s internal grievance mechanisms, which prompted her to approach legal authorities.

A senior police officer confirmed that a formal complaint has been registered and that an investigation is underway. The officer said the allegations include objectionable remarks made by a female project manager, who is currently based in Bengaluru and was involved in insurance-related operations. Police also indicated that they will examine the company’s internal response and any action taken so far in relation to the complaint.

Meanwhile, Wipro issued a statement acknowledging the matter and said it is cooperating fully with the ongoing investigation. The company said it has provided all relevant documents and information to the Pune Police as part of the inquiry process.

The case has also drawn attention from a non-profit organisation, the Hindu Janajagruti Samiti, which held a press interaction in Pune where the complainant publicly detailed her allegations. Authorities have confirmed that all aspects of the complaint, including documentary evidence and internal company records, are being examined as part of the investigation. Police officials have stated that the matter remains under inquiry and that appropriate action will be taken based on the findings.
