B, a female former employee, says, “There were, of course, a number of inappropriate conversations. People didn’t feel comfortable hanging out with him, especially at parties. If he asked you to stand next to him, people sort of kato-ed as soon as they could. I remember a very junior person in the company, somebody who had just joined, she was forced by Rahul to do shots … and the joke around it would be, ‘oh I’ll promote you’. The culture he had built is that you should be able to drink a lot and show up at 8.30 in the morning. So, being in his ‘gang’ meant getting drunk, laughing at all his jokes and going along with whatever happens … otherwise, you’d be ignored at meetings.”
