Ex-Microsoft executive Lathika Pai sues tech giant for Rs 35.3 Cr, cites hostile exit

Former Microsoft India executive and startup ecosystem veteran Lathika Pai has filed a civil suit against Microsoft India, its parent company, and senior officials, seeking Rs 35.3 crore in damages. The lawsuit, now moved from the Delhi High Court to a Bengaluru civil court, alleges that Pai was forced to resign due to a hostile work environment, retaliation, and procedural unfairness, amounting to what she calls “constructive dismissal.”
