The National Commission for Women’s (NCW) fact-finding committee investigated the January 7, 2025, murder of BPO employee Shubhada Kodare at WNS Global Services in Pune. The Committee identified significant lapses in the Company’s security protocols and compliance with the PoSH Act. The NCW recommended a comprehensive overhaul of safety measures, including enhanced surveillance, mandatory safety audits, regular employee training on workplace safety and conflict resolution, and the strengthening of internal grievance committees. NCW recommended institutionalising ‘bharosa kendras‘ in all Pune stations under the District Collector’s leadership to support victims of trauma and violence.
