His name was Saurabh Kumar Ladda.
He was 25 years old. Chemical Engineering from IIT Madras. MBA from IIM Calcutta. CFA Level 1 certified. He joined McKinsey and Company as a junior analyst in August 2022.
On Friday, February 23, 2024, he returned home to his apartment in Wadala, Mumbai, after a work trip to Ahmedabad at 10:30 at night.
At 11:15, he jumped from the ninth floor.
In his last phone call to his girlfriend, he spoke about the pressure he was facing on his project. Police recorded statements from his flatmates, family, colleagues and seniors. The official police investigation concluded his death was due to pressure at his workplace.
He was 25 years old. IIT. IIM. McKinsey. Every milestone India tells its young people to chase.
Today is International Labour Day. The day the world stops to ask what we owe the people who work.
India has no law that limits working hours for white collar professionals. The Factories Act caps factory workers at 48 hours a week. For salaried office employees, there is no legal ceiling.
Saurabh Kumar Ladda is not the first. He will not be the last.
Follow for real stories India never makes headlines about.
