Apple becomes first tech giant to explicitly ban caste discrimination, trains managers on Indian caste system
India TodayMost tech giants have elaborate anti-discriminatory work policies, but unlike some topics -- say race -- they do not explicitly call out caste-based discrimination. Now Apple has become one of the first tech giants to explicitly call out and ban caste discrimination in the company. According to Reuters, Apple updated its general employee conduct policy to prohibit caste-based discrimination nearly two years ago, but it was unreported so far. Apart from Apple, IBM In recent years the topic of caste and alleged caste discrimination among tech workers who have Indian heritage has led to much talk in Silicon Valley. Just a few months ago in June, Google, whose CEO Sundar Pichai has Indian roots, cancelled a talk on caste discrimination where Dalit rights activist Thenmozhi Soundararajan was supposed to give a presentation.
