The death of 26-year-old Anna Sebastian Perayil, a chartered accountant at Ernst & Young (EY), has raised concerns about workplace culture and employee welfare. Perayil passed away in July, four months after starting at the firm. Her parents allege that excessive work pressure contributed to her declining health and death. EY, however, has denied these claims, stating that Perayil’s workload was similar to that of other employees and work pressure was not believed to be the cause. Her passing has sparked a wider discussion on the "hustle culture" prevalent in many corporate environments, which often prioritizes productivity at the cost of employee health and well-being.
